On my last CPO 2014 IS250 (18 wheels as well) I was talked into purchasing the wheel&tire insurance, and in the past 1.5yrs with it I only had 1 tire replaced (due to running onto a big brick of rock fallen from the truck in front of me on the local road), and a subsequent wheel corrosion causing air leakage after 6 months. Total cost for that would have been what, 400 bucks? I was in NJ back then and the road conditions weren't that great either. But I've learned really it doesn't make sense financially to sign up for that.
This time when I was at the dealership I was almost talked into signing up for it again (dealer quoted $1.7K for 3yrs). I already signed the lease, but decided to opt out and they managed to revise the contract for me so monthly payment was lowered.
I am so happy I made that decision. Well touch wood but I really think you need to be driving very recklessly to damage your wheels/tires to the point the cost would catch up with what you invest on the insurance...
