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. |
I live in LA and I can miss potholes most of the time - I've been caught out twice in 5 years by unavoidable ones - the wife in the other hand - not so much...
I've looked online though and see a lot of companies promoting their insurance packages but there doesn't seem to be a way to buy it- if anyone has any links and can help with that it'd be appreciated
