and the local shop where you can develop a relationship seems to be the best way to go... sort of like having a good indy.
I've gotten several sets from Tire Rack or other online place, always without a road hazard warranty. I could have used it twice in the past 40 years--nail in the shoulder of the tire. When I *have* had the warranty I've never used it. Free flat repair is nice, but better to take your chances than give them money.
The cert is an insurance policy, like an extended warranty, that is almost pure profit for the store. The insurer pays them for the tires they replace.
The local place I've bought the Nokians I have on my car (winter and summer) and the WRs on my daughter's 9K includes the road hazard in the price, which several other tire places around also do. I'm not due for tires until next year (with any luck) but then I will ask for a price without the cert to see what the difference is.
