Had a flat 2nd week with the car, I attempted to ask the dealer for a discount because it was only 2 weeks and already I am coming in for a flat. He looked at me like I just insulted his whole family.

Yes its true Bobby...I had a bubble and cracked my rim...brought it to the dealer which I bought the car and they replaced it for free...Cost for one tire and my one rim= 1280 total!!! I paid nothing, so the warranty is definitely good...

Can the tire/rim be replaced @ different dealers? or just the one where I got the warranty?
Or can the tire warranty be bought @ a different dealer?

warranty is good, you can actually negotiate the price a little to get it under $800. it pays itself off, especially with these low profile tires. I dont know about a dealer not wanting to change a tire because of a bubble. a bubble is pretty dangerous. i had one and the thing just exploded one day so i advise you to get that changed out asap.

I brought it to another dealership....Life Ass Quality refused to do the claim for me and told me to go back to the dealership that I bought the warranty for the tire and rim....
