I carry a 12 volt air pump and tire repair kit. I also have roadside assistance towing service through Allstate RV. If I get a puncture I repair it. If unhappy with the repair I find the nearest decent motorcycle shop to buy a tire. If unable to accomplish a repair I would use my roadside assistance plan to get towed to the nearest qualified service facility; ie, a shop that can sell and mount a new tire. I do not need tire insurance from a company that makes getting paid for a tire difficult. So I am a lifetime BMW MOA member with no need for the premium aggravation plan.
What Paul said. I have a different insurance carrier and am on an annual membership but other than that, what he does is what I do. I'll probably jinx it now, but I have over 200K on BMWs and have never needed to repair a tire. I did dent a rim on an RT (pothole) and the shop would have replaced it but I didn't have wheel and tire coverage. It held air though, and was still doing so when I sold it 15,000 miles later.
