I was offered the wheel and tyre cover by my OPC just last week, I’ll dig out the paperwork and see who it’s with etc.OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:07 amThanks.

They cover diamond cut wheels too (which were refurbished at Audi bodyshop).OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:17 pm
Does Porsche Tyre and Wheel insurance actually exist? Mid Sussex don’t offer it. Can you buy it on-line?
Tyre Type?

Thanks. Maybe I should ask someone else at the OPC. I’m waiting on a callback on gap insurance ( so I can compare prices ) so I’ll ask again in that call.Sweetmeister wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:49 amI was offered the wheel and tyre cover by my OPC just last week, I’ll dig out the paperwork and see who it’s with etc.OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:07 amThanks.

Just quickly looked at the email document he sent me and the cover is provided by Fortegra Europe insurance with the intermediary being Premia solutions, covers 10 puncture repairs over 2/3 years and 5 new tyres. Doesn’t cover chrome or polished finish wheels. So if I go for the non GTS spyder wheels I wouldn’t be covered. It’s not cheap either at £799 which for me would just be for tyre cover.

Thanks for the replies.
The dealer I'm buying from does offer this, but I decided to look at other providers, one of which is Total Loss Gap who quoted £336.19 for 3 years cover for both tyres and alloys, maximum number of 4 claims per year per product.
It includes cover for painted, diamond and laser cut alloys.
Personally, I didn't think this was overly expensive.

That’s looks very good to me.Can’t go wrong at £336 for both types of cover for 3 years.

As you've specified Surround View (which is excellent), you shouldn't need wheel cover unless you're very careless. As for tyres, I think I've had one puncture in the last 10 years, and it was repairable cheaply. (Cue next puncture happening soon via Sod's Law!).Bazza06 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 12:00 pm
