Tyre and Alloy Insurance

You've just bought a new car but is it protected?

New alloy wheels are one of the most visually pleasing elements of a brand-new car, yet are also one of the most susceptible to scratches and scuffs against kerbs. Similarly, tyres are not only the part of a car that endures the most wear and tear – they are also vulnerable to punctures, abrasions, and vandalism.

Along with financing for your new car, the salespeople at your local Johnsons dealership will be able to provide you with a comprehensive alloy and tyre insurance policy to compensate you if these essential yet exposed parts of your vehicle are damaged. This type of protection is even more highly recommended if you frequently have to travel on poor road surfaces. It covers you for a certain number of separate incidents of damage, generally over a period of between one and four years.

WHY GET INSURED?

  • Unexpected road defects or even malicious actions can cause damage to your tyres or alloy wheels eveif you are the most careful of drivers.
  • Replacing tyres or repairing alloy wheels can be expensive, especially if you haven't budgeted for them, so it may be worth considering protecting yourself financially.



WHAT IS COVERED?

  • Tyres
The cost of a repair to a tyre (where possible) or a replacement tyre in the event of accidental or malicious damage.

Tyre replacements are limited to five (5) during the policy term, at a maximum amount including VAT as detailed on the policy schedule, which will be:

£250 per replacement and £1,250 in total.

Unlimited tyre repairs, up to a maximum of £50 per repair including, but limited to the maximum amount detailed on the policy schedule during the policy term.

Where necessary, repairs will include the cost of a replacement valve, wheel balancing and environmental disposal.
