    I think the OP meant he declined the offer of GAP because the Mercedes product was too expensive.

    That does make much more sense.

    Their GAP is very expensive.

    Tyre Insurance will probably be best done by putting away £10-£20/month into a bank account. Tyre insurance won't cover you when the tyre wears out.

    A single claim on one of my tyres would pay back more than the price I got my tyre insurance for.

    And I had three claims.

    10-20 per month in my account wouldn't have helped at all.

    But, each to their own and it might not worth it if you're running small radius tyres or non-premium tyres.
