Land Rover Tyre Insurance - ADZ - 13-08-2012 06:05pm Hello everyone. I have my first puncture I have a ''biscuit'' which will get me to the dealership and Land Rover roadside assistance who will help me change the wheel should I go that route. What I need to know is if anyone has purchased the insurance policy referred to in the cover line and how that has worked for them. I know that I opted to purchase this but have received no further information from the dealer bar the basics regarding what is covered. I will call him in the morning in any event. Please advise. Thanks! RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - mark_n - 13-08-2012 10:23pm Are you not able to change the wheel yourself? RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - ADZ - 14-08-2012 07:24am I can if I need to - but why when I can use what is made available to me? That's not the concern though. I was enquiring about the actual tyre insurance and if members of the forum have bought it. No matter - I'm checking in with the dealer as we speak. Have a great day! RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - XFullFatTim - 15-08-2012 08:57am I have wheel and tyre insurance and have used it as a contribution toward the new tyre I had to buy - the claims for tyres were limited to £250 a tyre which is better than nothing but was £70 short of the cost of the replacement tyre. I purchased my insurance as part of a package from the dealership that included GAP/Wheel & tyres and GardX paint treatment, it is not Land Rover insurance it is 3rd party. RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - ADZ - 15-08-2012 09:24am Hi Tim. I purchased X-sure tyre insurance through the dealership. It is a policy they offer in conjunction with one of the tyre-fitting chains. I was at the tyre place yesterday and they repaired my tyre at no charge - I had picked up a 5cm long nail whilst off-roading at the weekend. How - I don't know. Anyway. The consultant at the tyre place was raving about the policy - it even includes replacement of the tyre I'm pretty pleased with my purchase, in more ways than one. Thanks for your reply and have a great day! RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - XFullFatTim - 15-08-2012 09:27am With my insurance repairs are free as well but the damage I suffered was terminal for the tyre! I also get 5 alloy wheel refurbs, 4 replacement wheels if they cannot be refurbed and 10 new tyres covered over the 3 years of the policy. RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - ADZ - 15-08-2012 10:22am I don't even want to know what you did. But tell me anyway. RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - XFullFatTim - 15-08-2012 12:35pm Drove over the edge of a large steel plate that they use here to cover some of the larger holes in the road I think, but I don't really know how I got it. RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - ADZ - 15-08-2012 04:10pm Wow! Hectic Tim Must've been quite a task to keep the Landy on the road after that split. RE: Land Rover Tyre Insurance - XFullFatTim - 15-08-2012 05:16pm I didn't find it until I went to change back to the 20's from my 19" snow and ice tyres............. How I didn't see it when the wheels came off the car in October 2011! I also don't know how many miles I had driven on that slash as it is on the inner side of the tyre!
