On 20"s its about £260 for 3 years cover (you can make this longer or shorter), up to 5 claims and £300 per claim.
At that price 1 claim in the 3 years and it will have paid for itself

Is that wheel and tyre or just wheel?
LR did both for not much more than that.

Just tyre.
Searched Google and tyre and wheel don't seem to be offered together.
But you can get alloy and paint paired up.
I took wheel and tyre combined on my current insignia for £400 through the dealer, but that was on 18"s.
Unusual for a dealer to be competetive on the extras.

try searching for tyre insurance, quite a few hits come up then
RE: Don't damage any tyres - XFullFatTim - 30-03-2012 04:31pm
Got the new tyre fitted this morning and now the car has it's summer style 6's and 20" tyres on, ready for the sunshine! Listening to Gardener's Question Time on R4 on the way home am disappointed that the weather forecast is for heavy frosts from Saturday night onward into next week and there is a distinct possibility of SNOW over Easter! Fantasic timing for changing the wheels............... so the winter wheels and tyres are now all washed and dried, stacked up with thick carpet off-cuts between the alloys and a hefty blanket over the lot to keep the daylight off. Next job is to post off the claim form to the insurers. Also the pre-discount price of the new tyre was £330! If anybody is looking for unused 19" Continentals that have only delivery miles on them I have 4 that are up for sale for reasonable offers IRO £100 a tyre + carriage.

Happy so far.
FYI
Alloy wheel repaired. Very efficient came to my home at time that suited me, great job as good as new.
Just another 9 claims allowed in next 3 years
bound to happen on 20's however careful you are.I suppose some insurance isn't worth it but feel this wlll pay for itself in no time plus I dont have to worry about kerbing all the time.

Just received a cheque today for my replacement tyre - they paid £250 of the £270 as £250 is the maximum claim, but it's better than having to pay out and get nothing in return, the 5 years premium is now paid for!

Never heard of this insurance before, am I right in assuming that it is totally separate from your usual car insurance (will not affect no claims bonus etc..), much the same as cycle or phone insurance, or all the other thousands of insurances we need to live!
Is the premium affected by where you live or is it a fixed price (for 3 years etc.)
