Tyre Insurance

After getting some tyre insurance for new car, used to have RAC through a third party but they don't offer that any more.
Therefore after some suggestion for good cover, I did make two claims in three years on the previous policy which paid out promptly.

lol would have been my reaction a month ago but then my OH hit a lump of angle iron which did OSF tyre and rim and OSR tyre. The tyres were less than two months old 225/45/17 Avons at £100 each, rim is £330 from the dealer.
Actually now the pain has subsided lol is still my reaction together with not letting my OH borrow my car in future.0 -
I puncture in the last 30, no, closer to 40 years here. And that was when the tyre was 1/2 worn. Doen't make sense to me, although I know fancy wide low profile stuff can be expensive, but why insure for everything, taking a risk on the less important issues, ie, tyres, is probably more cost effective over the years,
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Lower profile and it seems these new fangled run flat tyres are more susceptible to punctures and it depends on your driving environment.
Depends on the premium versus cost of replacement tyre.
If I had a car requiring tyres at £200-£300 a piece and the premium was under £50 a year I might consider it.0
