Road Hazard Protection
ProtectionPlan.
Calgary roads don't play fair. Potholes, nails, curbs, debris — one bad moment shouldn't cost you a tire. Add our Protection Plan to any tire we install for a full year of coverage.
Optional add-on, priced per tire — 10% of the tire ($12 to $50 each). Add it when you book online, or ask at the counter.
One plan. Priced off your tire.
Same protection, every tire — free flat repairs and prorated replacement. It's 10% of the tire's price, per tire, with a $12 minimum and a $50 cap. One year of coverage, added right when you book.

Built for the damage you can't see coming.
Road hazards are the things you didn't put there and couldn't avoid. If one damages a covered tire, we take care of it.
Punctures & Nails
Screws, nails, glass, metal shards — anything that pierces the tread. Repaired to industry standard, free of charge, as many times as needed during the term.
Potholes & Impact
Calgary's spring pothole season is brutal. Sidewall bulges, bead damage and impact breaks from potholes, curbs and debris are covered.
Non-Repairable Damage
If the damage can't be safely repaired, we replace the tire and credit you based on the tread you've used — so you're never paying full price for bad luck.
No paperwork. No 1-800 number. Just drive in.
Bring the tire to us
Drive in to either Prince Tires location, or bring the tire on its own. Walk-ins welcome — no appointment required for a claim.
We inspect it on the spot
A technician assesses the damage. We look up your purchase on file — no receipt or certificate needed.
Repaired or replaced
Repairable? It's fixed free. Not repairable? Your replacement credit is applied and you're back on the road, usually same day.
Fair value, based on the tread you've used.
When a tire can't be repaired, your credit toward a replacement is prorated by remaining tread depth. Lots of tread left means a big credit. It's the same simple math every time — no fine print.

Things people ask us.
How much does it cost?
It's 10% of the tire's price, per tire, with a $12 minimum and a $50 cap. On a $200 tire that's $20. Add it when you book online, or call (403) 452-4283.
How long does the coverage last?
12 months from the date of purchase, or until the tire wears to 2/32" (the wear bars), whichever comes first.
Can I add it to tires I already own?
Coverage must be added at the time of purchase and installation at Prince Tires. It can't be added to used tires or tires bought elsewhere.
Does it transfer if I sell the vehicle?
Coverage stays with the tires and the original purchase on file. If the new owner brings the tires to us, we'll honour the remaining term.
Do I need to keep a certificate or receipt?
No. Every covered purchase is logged in our system. Just give us your name or phone number at the counter.
Is it valid at both locations?
Yes — claims are honoured at 111 42 Ave SW and 3928 Edmonton Trail NE. Note that 42 Ave SW carries our largest inventory, so replacement tires are most likely to be in stock there.
What if the exact tire is no longer available?
We'll apply your credit toward a comparable tire of equal or greater value. You only pay the difference, if any.
Add it to your next set of tires.
Book your installation and ask for the Protection Plan, or call and we'll walk you through it.

The Protection Plan is an optional add-on available on new tires purchased and installed at Prince Tires Ltd. Coverage runs 12 months from the date of purchase or until the tire reaches 2/32" (wear bars), whichever comes first. Replacement credit is calculated on remaining tread depth against the original purchase price of the tire, before tax. Coverage is subject to inspection by a Prince Tires technician. Full terms available in store.
