Hi,

Any recommendations for tyre and alloy wheel insurance? Ideally based ease and success of claim.

My OPC has quoted £585 for a 3 year cover limited to 4 wheel repairs and 4 tyre replacements.

Cover they quoted for is offered by Fortegra Europe Insurance

I have used Premia Solutions (via Audi) which have been good.

I’m not bothered about wheel insurance so saved £500 and went for tyre insurance from https://www.car2cover.co.uk/

£299 for three years instead of the £799 Porsche wanted for their combined product.

Make sure to read the terms and conditions for any policy you take out.

The one that Porsche offered me excluded wheels with certain finishes (e.g. diamond cut - there were others but I cannot remember what they were), wheels above a certain size etc.
