Bigger Wheels and Pothole Damage Lift Tire and Wheel Protection Plans to USD 12.74 Billion by 2035
Buyers worldwide spent USD 6.85 Billion on tire and wheel protection plans in 2025, a figure Radial Insights expects to reach USD 7.29 Billion in 2026 and USD 12.74 Billion by 2035, a 6.40% CAGR. These contracts pay to repair or replace tires and wheels damaged by potholes, nails and road debris.
The Tire and Wheel Protection Plans market covers road hazard tire warranties, combined tire and wheel contracts, and cosmetic wheel repair plans sold by franchised and independent dealers through the finance and insurance (F&I) office, by tire retailers at the point of sale, by automakers directly or by monthly subscription, and online. Values are gross written contract revenue. We exclude manufacturer workmanship warranties that come free with a tire, full vehicle service contracts, GAP cover, and standalone motor insurance policies.
Demand is broad. Cox Automotive reported US new vehicle sales of 16.3 million units in 2025, and StoneEagle data show that about 10% of dealer F&I deals included tire and wheel cover in the fourth quarter of 2025. In the UK the RAC recorded 26,048 pothole-related breakdowns in 2025, up about 15% on 2024. AAA estimated that US drivers paid USD 26.5 billion for pothole repairs in 2021, with the average repair close to USD 600.
OEM direct and subscription plans are the fastest-growing channel at a 13.20% CAGR, led by models such as Tesla's monthly Wheel and Tire Protection Plan. Asia Pacific (APAC) is the fastest-growing region at 9.00% a year, while North America holds 56.30% of 2025 value.
Regulation shapes how plans are sold. The US Fifth Circuit vacated the FTC CARS Rule in January 2025, but California's SB 766 and Washington's rule R 2025-09 now set state-level disclosure and filing standards, so the Tire and Wheel Protection Plans market is moving toward clearer pricing rather than shrinking.

Combined Tire and Wheel Plans Lead While Cosmetic Wheel Repair Grows at 7.40%
Combined tire and wheel plans are the leading coverage type and grow at 6.90%, because a bent or cracked alloy wheel can cost several times more than the tire on it. Cosmetic wheel repair plans grow fastest at 7.40% as 20-inch and larger alloy wheels spread across SUVs. Tire-only road hazard plans grow at 5.10%, held back by retailers such as Les Schwab that now include road hazard replacement free with every tire.
OEM Direct and Subscription Channels Expand at 13.20%
Franchised dealers remain the leading channel and grow at 5.80%, supported by record F&I income per vehicle in late 2025. Independent and used vehicle dealers grow at 6.30%. Tire retailers grow at 5.20%. OEM direct and subscription plans post the fastest rate at 13.20% as automakers sell cover inside their own apps, and online direct-to-consumer plans grow at 9.50%.
Electric Vehicles Grow at 12.10% on Heavier, Costlier Wheels
Passenger cars grow at 4.60% as sedan sales shrink. SUVs and pickups are the leading vehicle type and grow at 7.10% because their large wheels are costly to replace. Electric vehicles grow fastest at 12.10%: Epyx data show the average UK EV tyre rose from 18 to 19 inches between 2023 and 2025, against 17 to 18 inches for combustion cars.
Longer Contract Terms Gain as Loan Terms Stretch
Contracts of up to 3 years grow at 5.60%. Terms of 4 to 5 years lead and grow at 6.70%, matching common auto loan lengths. Terms over 5 years grow fastest at 7.30% because lenders now finance more vehicles over 72 months or longer.
Used Vehicles Outpace New at 6.80%
New vehicles lead and grow at 6.10%. Used vehicles grow at 6.80% as dealers add tire and wheel cover to certified pre-owned deals; Cox Automotive counted about 2.61 million US certified pre-owned sales in 2025.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Consolidation Among F&I Administrators
Insurers and private-equity backed administrators are buying dealer agencies to secure distribution. Protective Life agreed in October 2025 to buy Portfolio Holding, an F&I and dealer reinsurance provider, and closed the deal in January 2026 as its 61st acquisition. APCO Holdings, owner of EasyCare, bought Dealer Performance Group, which serves more than 300 dealerships, in July 2026. Arch Insurance North America agreed in November 2026 to buy Premier Dealer Services. Fewer, larger administrators now price most US tire and wheel contracts.
Automakers Sell Protection Directly
Tesla sells its Wheel and Tire Protection Plan as a monthly subscription, and owner news sites reported in August 2026 that prices for some Model 3 Performance and Model Y Performance owners would rise to USD 24 a month from October 2026. Direct OEM plans shift value away from dealers and help explain the 13.20% CAGR for OEM channels in the Tire and Wheel Protection Plans market.
Retailers Bundle Road Hazard Cover
Les Schwab began including 100% road hazard tire replacement at no extra charge with every tire purchased from July 2024, and Discount Tire continues to sell per-tire certificates at purchase. Bundling raises the bar for paid tire-only plans and pushes sellers toward wheel coverage.
Pothole Damage Keeps Rising
The RAC reported 9,439 pothole-related breakdowns in the first quarter of 2025, more than double the previous quarter, and 26,048 for the full year. Claims for damaged shock absorbers, springs and distorted wheels rose 19% in that first quarter, and repairs beyond a puncture can cost up to GBP 590.
Restraints and Challenges
Add-On Product Rules Tighten at State Level
The US Fifth Circuit vacated the FTC CARS Rule in January 2025, but states moved in. California SB 766, signed in October 2025 and operative from October 2026, bans charging for add-ons that offer no benefit, requires a disclosure that add-ons are optional and creates a 3-day cancellation right on many used vehicles. Washington adopted rule R 2025-09 in March 2026, requiring tire and wheel contract forms to be filed with the Insurance Commissioner. Compliance costs rise for every seller.
Flat Penetration in the Dealer Channel
StoneEagle data show tire and wheel penetration at about 10% of F&I deals in the second quarter of 2026, down from 11% in the second quarter of 2025, even as total F&I income per vehicle rose to USD 1,989 in the first half of 2026. Dealers sell more service contracts and GAP than tire and wheel cover.
Free Road Hazard Offers From Retailers
When major tire chains bundle road hazard replacement into the tire price, paid tire-only plans lose appeal. That pressure holds tire-only road hazard plans to a 5.10% CAGR.
Slower Tire and Vehicle Volumes
USTMA forecast record US tire shipments of 337.4 million units for 2025 against 337.3 million in 2024, essentially flat, as shown in its November 2025 forecast. Cox Automotive also forecasts 2026 US retail used vehicle sales of 20.3 million, down 0.7%. Flat unit volumes put more weight on pricing and penetration for growth.
Growth Drivers
Larger and Costlier Wheels
Wheel size drives claim cost. In the UK, Epyx data published in April 2026 show the average combustion-car tyre grew from 17 to 18 inches between 2023 and the end of 2025, with the average price rising from GBP 109 to GBP 122. For electric vehicles the average grew from 18 to 19 inches and from GBP 190 to GBP 214. Hankook reported that tires of 18 inches and larger made up 47.8% of its 2025 passenger and light truck sales. A single damaged 20-inch alloy wheel and tire can cost more than a full plan, which makes protection an easier sale in the F&I office. Automakers including Tesla, BMW and Ford now fit 20-inch and larger wheels on mainstream trims. Radial Insights estimates this driver adds about +2.1 points to the 6.40% annual growth.
Deteriorating Roads and Rising Pothole Claims
AAA estimated in March 2022 that US drivers paid USD 26.5 billion for pothole-related repairs in 2021, with about 1 in 10 drivers needing a repair averaging almost USD 600. In the UK, the RAC logged 26,048 pothole-related breakdowns in 2025, up about 15% from 22,703 in 2024, and said repairs beyond a puncture can reach GBP 590. Low-profile tires on large wheels give less sidewall cushion against impacts, so a pothole that once caused a puncture now bends a rim. Insurers and administrators such as Assurant, Zurich and CNA National price this risk into contracts that consumers see as real value. We estimate higher damage frequency lifts market growth by around +1.6 percentage points a year.
Dealer F&I Profit Focus and Administrator Investment
Public dealer groups keep raising F&I income. AutoNation reported FY2025 F&I gross profit of USD 2,769 per retail unit, up 6.0%, Sonic's franchised segment reached USD 2,596, up 9%, and Penske reported USD 1,812, up 5.1%. Assurant's Global Automotive business earned USD 4.20 billion in net earned premiums, fees and other income in 2025, and it added 30 Holman dealerships in August 2025. StoneEagle reported F&I income per vehicle of USD 1,989 in the first half of 2026, up from USD 1,882. Lithia and Group 1 reported F&I income of USD 1,844 and USD 2,036 per unit for 2025. Administrators that win dealer groups gain shelf space for tire and wheel products, adding close to +1.4 points to yearly growth.
Opportunities
Subscription Cover for EV Owners
EV owners already pay monthly for software and connectivity. Monthly tire and wheel plans sold in-app, following Tesla's model, can reach owners long after the vehicle sale and support the 12.10% growth rate for EV cover.
Used Vehicle and Lease-End Programs
Used vehicle buyers and lessees face wheel damage charges at lease return. Plans built for certified pre-owned deals and lease-end wheel repair, such as those sold by MotorEasy in the UK, open a growing pool of buyers.
North America Generates Most Contract Revenue While Asia Pacific Grows Fastest
North America
North America holds 56.30% of the Tire and Wheel Protection Plans market, worth USD 3.86 Billion in 2025, and should reach USD 6.43 Billion by 2035 at a 5.25% CAGR. US new vehicle sales reached 16.3 million in 2025, and about 10% of US dealer F&I deals included tire and wheel cover.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) accounts for 17.80% of 2025 revenue, about USD 1.22 Billion, and grows fastest at 9.00% a year to USD 2.89 Billion by 2035. Rising SUV and EV sales in China, India and Australia put larger alloy wheels on the road, and dealer F&I practices in Australia and South Korea are spreading tire and wheel cover beyond premium brands.
Europe
Europe represents 17.40% of the market, or USD 1.19 Billion in 2025, rising to USD 2.11 Billion by 2035 at a 5.90% CAGR. The RAC recorded 26,048 pothole-related breakdowns in the UK in 2025, and Epyx data show the average UK EV tyre price reached GBP 214, supporting tyre and alloy insurance sold by MotorEasy and leasing companies.
Latin America
Latin America holds 3.90% of 2025 value, about USD 0.27 Billion, and grows at 7.80% a year to USD 0.57 Billion by 2035. Brazil and Mexico are the largest vehicle markets in Latin America, and poor urban road surfaces in Sao Paulo and Mexico City make wheel damage cover an easy add-on for dealers.
Middle East
The Middle East accounts for 2.90% of the market, worth USD 0.20 Billion in 2025, and should reach USD 0.44 Billion by 2035 at an 8.20% CAGR. Large SUVs with 20-inch and larger wheels dominate dealer sales in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and dealers in the Middle East increasingly bundle wheel cover with extended warranties.
Africa
Africa holds 1.70% of 2025 revenue, about USD 0.12 Billion, and grows at 8.60% a year to USD 0.27 Billion by 2035. South Africa, the largest market in Africa, already has a mature value-added products industry around motor plans, and potholes on municipal roads make tyre and rim cover a common add-on.
| Region | 2025 (USD Billion) | 2025 share | 2035 (USD Billion) | CAGR 2025-2035 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 3.86 | 56.30% | 6.43 | 5.25% |
| Asia Pacific (APAC) | 1.22 | 17.80% | 2.89 | 9.00% |
| Europe | 1.19 | 17.40% | 2.11 | 5.90% |
| Latin America | 0.27 | 3.90% | 0.57 | 7.80% |
| Middle East | 0.20 | 2.90% | 0.44 | 8.20% |
| Africa | 0.12 | 1.70% | 0.27 | 8.60% |
| Total | 6.85 | 100.00% | 12.74 | 6.40% |
Recent Developments
In November 2026, Arch Insurance North America agreed to acquire Premier Dealer Services, an F&I product provider based in Dublin, Ohio.
In August 2026, CarShield completed the acquisition of its administrator, American Auto Shield, creating a group with more than 3 million customers and over USD 1 billion in claims paid.
In July 2026, APCO Holdings, parent of EasyCare, acquired Dealer Performance Group, an F&I agency serving more than 300 dealerships in the US Southeast.
In March 2026, the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner adopted rule R 2025-09, requiring tire and wheel repair or replacement contract forms to be filed with the regulator.
In January 2026, Protective Life closed its acquisition of Portfolio Holding, a provider of service contracts, GAP and other dealer F&I products.
In August 2025, Assurant expanded its F&I partnership with Holman to 30 additional dealerships acquired with Leith Automotive.
Insurer-Backed Administrators Control the Dealer Channel While Retailers and Automakers Build Their Own Plans
The Tire and Wheel Protection Plans market has three kinds of sellers. Insurer-backed administrators write and service most dealer contracts, tire retailers sell road hazard cover at the counter, and automakers increasingly sell plans directly. Dealer relationships and claims networks are the main barriers to entry. Administrators also compete on claim speed, since a driver with a bent wheel wants a repair approved the same day. Acquisitions in 2025 and 2026 show how much administrators value both.
Insurer-Backed Administrators
Assurant is the largest specialist, with USD 4.20 billion in Global Automotive revenue in 2025 and a growing roster of dealer partners such as Holman. Protective Asset Protection, part of Protective Life and Dai-ichi Life, sells tire and wheel cover to dealers and strengthened its reach with the January 2026 purchase of Portfolio. Zurich North America sells protection products under the Zurich Shield name, CNA National writes dealer service contracts and ancillary products, and Arch Insurance North America is entering through its pending purchase of Premier Dealer Services.
Captive and Dealer-Agency Groups
Fidelity Warranty Services, part of JM Family, is strong among Toyota dealers in the Southeast. Toyota Financial Services sells Toyota and Lexus tire and wheel protection through franchised dealers. Ally Premier Protection and Allstate Dealer Services package tire and wheel cover with vehicle service contracts. APCO Holdings, through EasyCare and its 2026 purchase of Dealer Performance Group, combines products with dealer agency services.
Retailers, Automakers and Direct Sellers
Discount Tire sells per-tire road hazard certificates, while Les Schwab includes free road hazard replacement with every tire. Tesla sells a monthly Wheel and Tire Protection Plan directly to owners. CarShield markets vehicle protection direct to consumers and now owns its administrator, and MotorEasy sells tyre and alloy wheel insurance in the UK through leasing firms and retail partners.

Administrators said average wheel claim costs rose since 2023 as alloy wheel sizes grew. They have raised contract prices on large-wheel vehicles and EVs.
How are state rules changing sales?
Dealer compliance staff said California's SB 766 forced new disclosure scripts and cancellation processes. They expect lower attach rates at first but fewer chargebacks.
Are paid road hazard plans still selling?
Retailers said free road hazard bundles from rivals make paid tire-only plans harder to sell. Several now push combined tire and wheel cover instead.
Do EV owners prefer monthly plans?
EV owners we interviewed preferred monthly plans they can cancel in an app. They valued cover for expensive 20-inch and 21-inch wheels most.
