Just turned 40k miles last week and still on original Pirelli rubber. About 3.5mm all around as I swap fronts and backs around about 10k ago. Very happy runnings

2650 miles ! A 1p screw puncture right on the shoulder that couldn't be repaired cost me £223 for a new 20" michelin. Considering I hadn't even worn the pimples off the original to say I was jacked off would be an understatement ! ( talking of jacks who in god's name designed the cranking handle on them, couldn't be more fiddly or slow to use if they tried !)

19's on mine, 16.5K mile and still have a good 5mm all round. I have had to replace one tyre because of a punture early on at a cost of £214 for the Conti's

Just had to replace my fronts after 38k miles so very pleased with how the Conti's have performed. The rears are at 5mm so plenty left in those.

I had to replace the Rear tyre as I manage to get a nail in it and unable to repair it. I have done just 17000 miles now. New tyre costs £175 Smile not cheap for an 18" Pirelli

The tyre insurer I was covered by required digital photos of the damage (they said what angles and views they wanted them from) with the electronic claim form. They paid out within 24 hours of the claim form being received so I assume that the do it on a case by case judgement. The claim form was dead easy to fill in too - basically how when where and how much are you claiming back (limited in my case to £270) - A photo speaks a 1000 words!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I have the same cover I think XFFT or very similar. Dead easy to claim, paid out both times I've claimed. I tend to get fixable punctures fixed myself and claim when I know a puncture isn't fixable as I'm limited to 5 claims in 3 years.

Martin - what size of wheels? I only ask because the Continentals (20") the front of mine are about 75% worn after only 19K miles, and I by no means drive the car hard. Just a mixture of dual carriageway and Edinburgh's terrible roads.
