Do you own a GMC vehicle or are you about to own one? Ever wondered if the warranty plan covers tires, and what exactly does this warranty plan entail? Well, this is for you.
All About GMC Warranties
All GMC vehicles being registered in the United States of America (USA) have a warranty plan of over 3 years or 36,000 miles (depending on which of these comes first) from its time of purchase. The warranty covers the entire vehicle including its tires. It also covers towing services to a nearby GMC dealer and corrosion damages due to defects. This warranty plan does not cover normal car maintenance.
The GMC optional extended limited warranty is only available during the time of purchase of new GMC vehicles. It runs for a period of 5 years or 60,000 miles (depending on which of these comes first). The warranty covers the entire vehicle but does not cover normal maintenance.
Both warranty plans are transferable with vehicle ownership, within the timeframe of the warranty.
Warranty Covering Tire Repair
This plan covers the repair of tires damaged as a result of road hazards. The repair covers up to $25 for each repair needed at the warranty period.
Warranty Covering Tire Replacement
In cases where the tires cannot be repaired, a replacement is done. The damaged tire is replaced with one of good quality. Services covered include mounting, balancing, valve stem replacement, but a few to mention.
GMC Tire Protection
The GMC protection covers your vehicle’s tires only if the damages match any of the listed road hazards in the GMC tire protection plan. The benefits accompanying the GMC tire protection plan include:
The tire protection begins on the day the vehicle is purchased.
The tire protection plan covers new vehicles.
It runs for a period of 36 months or 60 months from the time of purchase.
Cancellation is possible within 10 days and the customer gets a full refund.

What happens when the vehicle is sold?
The warranty plan is totally transferable with vehicle ownership. However, this is only possible provided the vehicle gets sold within the warrantied timeframe. After the warranty period elapses, the warranty plan no longer covers the vehicle regardless of vehicle ownership.
Does the GMC extended warranty cover tires?
This plan is an extension of your warranty plan after the factory warranty has expired (it runs for a period of 5 years or 60,000 miles, depending on which of these comes first). Unlike the factory warranty, it is only available for purchase at the time the vehicle is being purchased, and it does not cover tire damages.

Tire and wheel protection: this covers repair and replacement of flat tires.

Both plans are not limited by a specified mile range.
The GMC factory warranty covers tires too. It is available for a period of 3 years or 36,000 miles.

After this period of time, the vehicle owner can either choose to go for an extended warranty or not. There are other tire protection plans made available for the vehicle owner.
