A tire blew out and you crashed. Who pays? Collision coverage usually pays for crash damage to your car, minus your deductible. A worn-out tire by itself is usually treated as wear and tear, which policies typically don't cover. If the tire was defective or recalled, check NHTSA's recall lookup and keep the tire as evidence. Check your tire pressure every month. Compare free quotes at autoinsurancebundle.pro.
