My Clarity (PHEV Touring) Developed a slow leak in the RF tire soon after I took delivery. According to the manual the tire manufacturer is responsible for the warranty on the tires. It also says the Dealer will help you contact the manufacturer to arrange for a warranty claim. My Honda dealer contacted me and never mentioned a tire warranty just that they could get me a new tire and install it. I mentioned the tire manufacture warranty and the service rep didn't seem to know about it. I'm picking up the car today and just wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with tire warranty.

The manufacturer replacement is pro-rated and says so on your tire brochure that is mixed with your owner's manual.
I have had many cars for years and have to say that I always get tire protection when I get a new car.
Immediately upon getting the new car, I would drive to America's / Discount tire and get them registered with the serial numbers and buy their certificates for about $15 each tire.
If I change out the tires with a new set, I always get the optional Road Hazard Replacement certificates for the life of the tire - it pays for itself with the first tire that gets replaced.
Not to mention free air, tire rotations and wheel balancing is included.
This time for the Clarity, I paid $435 for Honda care which takes care of tire replacements, repairs and oil changes by the dealer - up to 3 years.
Peace of mind and no surprises.
