Twenty states are joining a pilot program offered by Milwaukee motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson.

In a move that brings motorcycle ownership closer to that of its four-wheeled cousin the car, Harley-Davidson has decided to expand its Tire & Wheel Protection program from the initial four pilot program states to an additional 20 states, upping the total to 24.

Harley-Davidson dealerships will be able to offer the tire protection plan in the 20 additional states as of October 1st. Available exclusively through participating Harley-Davidson dealers, the program covers the costs associated with the repair or replacement of tires and wheels, including labor and taxes, towing, lodging and meal reimbursement.

All motorcycle tires are covered—both the original and any replacements—for the duration of coverage, with no maximum occurrences and no deductible.
With coverage periods from one to seven years available, the H-D Tire & Wheel Protection must be purchased either at the time the motorcycle is purchased or when new tires or wheels are purchased from an authorized Harley-Davidson dealership.

Joining the current Tire & Wheel Protection pilot states of New York, Colorado, Florida and Utah are Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and West Virginia.
