Venomrogue,
I Saved $130+ by buying from Tire Rack, AND paying the dealer's increased M&B charge. I'd hardly call that a small markup. (Yes, it is an accumulated savings across a set of 4 tires, but still...)
I have never purchased or needed "Road Hazard". If I have a flat, I get it Fixed, usually for less than $10. If the tire is damaged worse than can be Plug/Patched, I'll chalk it up as a loss. (It's not yet happened in 22+ years of driving). I guess it's like insurance, but if you don't use it, you're just paying alot of "Extra Expense" and I personally don't get any "Added Peace of Mind" from the thought of having it. If I HAD purchased Road Hazard across the years, I'm sure my expenses would've added up to many sets of tires by now.
