Are tyres covered against normal wear and tear?

No. Normal wear and tear due to age and/or usage is not covered by Tyre and Alloy Wheel Insurance.

How can I ensure I am covered against accidental or malicious damage?

Tyres need to be used at the correct pressure, and have 1.6mm of tread or more left on them to be covered. Tyres also need to be maintained correctly, and incorrect wheel balancing, defective steering geometry/tracking, or defective suspension is not covered by the policy.

Am I covered against fire, theft or road traffic accidents?

No. Fire damage, damage caused by a road traffic accident and theft of alloy wheels or tyres is not covered.
