Burn your house down (not on purpose!) and you'll get your money back, in spades. When it blows over in a high wind or a tree blows down on it, you'll get your money back. Don't think that the wind will never get you, we had a hurricane in Ohio a few years ago, so anything can happen! If you self insure, make sure you have enough to cover the worst thing that can happen, which for a home is the total loss of the building and all the contents in a fire.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
