Yes, State Farm covers flat tires for customers who have roadside assistance coverage. Drivers who have State Farm roadside assistance can call 877-627-5757 for help, and the company will pay for the cost of changing a flat tire. However, it's important to note that State Farm will not pay for the tire itself, so drivers need to have a spare or pay out of pocket for a replacement tire.
State Farm roadside assistance is an optional policy add-on, meaning that the coverage is not automatically included. Drivers without roadside assistance on their policy can still contact the company for help changing a flat tire, but they will need to pay out-of-pocket at a rate negotiated by State Farm. But roadside assistance coverage is often worth buying, especially since it only costs about $30 per year. Besides flat tire changes, roadside assistance from State Farm also covers towing, lockout services, up to one hour of mechanical labor, and the delivery of gas, oil, or a battery.
