Pros/cons of most popular tires

Also wondering what you all think about the Road Hazard insurance when ordering your tires from an internet retailer like tirerack.com. I used to just get my tires at Sears

Also wondering what you all think about the Road Hazard insurance when ordering your tires from an internet retailer like tirerack.com. I used to just get my tires at Sears when i had my Altima so it was easy to just bring the car there for Road Hazard repair jobs and that's not too often. Is it a hassle to get reimbursed and stuff when you have it through an internet dealer? Just wondering if it's more hassle than it's worth. Patch jobs aren't expensive either. It's really in case some thing really bad happens and the tire is unrepairable. What do you guys think, more hassle than it's worth or a must?

I've never had to use the road hazard ins. from tire rack, BUT I have purchased many many sets of tires (and wheels) from them over the years and they have great customer service. In fact, that's the only place I really buy tires from anymore, they've earned my loyalty.

As far as if the road hazard ins is necessary, imo, for run flats it is worth it since they cannot be repaired. (no reputable shop will touch them but you could do it yourself). For normal tires, patch/plug jobs are so cheap, the road hazard seems not worth it to me.
