tyre insurance

[Bonjo]

been looking at some websites for tyre prices and noticed the offer a £4 tyre insurance (against puncture, deflation, ...)
Has anyone bought one or looked into this? Sounds like a good idea

That’s been going around and around for a while now....

Yes, I received a circular about this a while back.

It’s here...

Um-mm, I seem to remember a couple of tyre companies doing this a few years back, (This was when having replacement tyres fitted to my car)
I think at the time I sussed out the insurance only covered puncture repairs that could actually be repaired,---- If the tyre was damaged in any area or in any way that rendered that the repair couldn't be classed as A PUNCTURE REPAIR, the insurance was then void,

As I said, this was all a few years ago now, so there's a bit of brain searching going on here, and more than likely things could well have changed in those passing years, But the above is as I remember it from then

Avoid using the margins of the road and sharp pointy things that lie in wait within, is my advice.

these days, it is a challenge to find any part of our tarmacs not to be damaging to bikes, cars, cycles,
