Tyre Insurance - fam1x - 19-12-2011 03:15pm
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

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.

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.

Not worthwhile considering. Thanks though for highlighting it.

Theres loads of mid range options too on blackcircles for 150-170 quid fitted.

No not for me

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

Save your money and put it towards a set of winter tyres for next year.
