If it makes you feel any better, the dealer tried really hard to get me to buy the tire insurance, because they probably make a fortune off of it. I turned it down, and then less than 1,500 miles into the car, I got a big fat nail in my tire. Guess who felt stupid then!?
But I am still glad I didn't opt for the "insurance" because the tires probably won't last very long anyway, and a patch here and there is no biggie. If they agreed to replace the tire if it got less than 15K miles of treadwear, however, I would have gone for it.
Also, I think that the $45 you paid is not totally out of line if they did a good job and didn't hurt your rim. I watched them like a hawk when they fixed mine and made sure their was no rim damage. Since I was happy with the guy, I gave him an extra $5 for his trouble. (20% tip).
