[QUOTE="RedRocketMike, post: 15159775, member: 51242"] Never make the mistake of having the mindset that the insurance company is going to tell you how it is. That is how you get screwed. I would find out all the overpriced dealer values for your car on KBB/NADA/Edmunds and then I would start saving the most overpriced Accords for sale that are equivalent to yours so they can average those pricesd. Tell them you want reimbursed for the tires you just bought. They want to screw you over so return the favor. In the end if you don't like what they offer just refuse it and sue the driver who hit you, they will then have to consider the extra costs to represent him in court and eventually will probably pay you. I've done this myself and it went very well, I netted about 80% more than their estimate to repair my car. It just took extra time and screaming at State Farm reps and one of their lawyers. Actually was alot of fun. If you are trying to keep the car and a clear title go get your own estimates and ask them to write it up just to the threshold of total out, insist on payment of that amount. Drive that car into the ground afterwards or sell it. [/QUOTE]
