What is the three-tire rule?

The three-tile rule in insurance is a myth. Car insurance companies will cover all four tires as long as you have the right policy. You need comprehensive car insurance coverage to pay for slashed tires. However, your deductible will determine how much your insurance will cover. The average cost of a replacement tire is $167, but most comprehensive deductibles are between $250-$500. If you have a higher deductible, you would be stuck paying for slashed tires.
