That's a tough question, is it worth it.
When I had to swap out my damaged tire, no shop in town had even heard that Pirelli tires came with a road hazard warranty; especially on factory installed tires. TireRack was the only one who would honor the warranty. My cost was to pay return shipping for the old tire (~$30). They sent me an UPS call tag and I just left the old tire on my front porch (super classy for a day).
Discount tire mount and balanced they new one for $23.
Also worth noting...Tire Rack can shave your new tire to match the tread depth of your current set of tires. Yes, it seems silly to pay to remove life from your tire, but it eliminates the concern of new vs. old tire diameter for complex all-wheel drive systems.
