Finally I am picking up my new GLA this Saturday 
The dealer is offering a 4 years insurance for the tires and wheels for $1,495 which is roughly half of what I will pay for insurance for the whole vehicle.
The argument is that Extended Mobility tires (run flats) are not repairable and quite expensive (north of $400).
First, is it true they cannot be repaired? I found a report from JD Power stating
Otherwise and also a manual from Goodyear on how to repair their run flats. But others like Continental say they can't be repaired (as well as Mercedes and BMW me and others).
Second, is this insurance really worth the trouble? I would have to buy four tires in four years for it to pay for itself. Are these tires easier to puncture that regular tires?
Your comments are greatly appreciated.
