If they didn't make money on the insurance they wouldn't be selling it.
agreed. Biggest risk to most I imagine are picking up nails in residential construction areas or hitting road debris. Both very rare in urban areas.

I too have never hit potholes where it busted up my tires. If it did, I would be more worried about my suspension than anything.
