Tyre Insurance

Has any one taken out tyre Insurance on their cars and is it worth considering.

I found this site http://www.car2cover.co.uk/Tyre-Insurance

says they will covere your tyres for 3 years for £260 which isnt bad considering a single tyre would cost more that that from Land Rover. Wonder what you guys think about that is it work taking out ? I've not taken anything like this before, but have folked out a lot of tyres Sad

Pure SD4 Auto Black Tech pack, Pano roof, Powered tailgate, Dim rear view, Carpet mats & edging, Parking Assist Aid - Rear camera, Folding mirrors, Front Fogs, Auto Light, Rain sensor, Adaptive Xenons, Heated SW, Keyless entry and Privacy Glass arrived 13 Jan 12 Smile

RE: Tyre Insurance

how many tyres have you had to replace due to puncture in the last 3 years?

For me none, In fact I have never had to replace a tyre due to anything other than normal wear in 17 years of driving. £260 will buy you a lot of £15 puncture repairs.

So i personally would not bother.

RE: Tyre Insurance

I'm not sure that's worth it.

I've just taken a look at Event-tyres.co.uk - Web site for 235/60 18" (which would be std spec on a Pure) and assuming yours comes with Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres and they are £206 fitted for a single tyre purchase or £181 each if you have 4 in one go.

Delivered 15th May 2012, rejected and returned 4th Feb 2013 - SD4 5 door Prestige manual with a bucket full of rattles Mauritius Blue. Crazy Audi MY2020 RSQ3

Put the 260 quid in a savings account and use it if you puncture a tyre!
