£900 on tyres in a week

Last week got a puncture at the back......took it to the garage and was told I needed 2 new rear tyres, which I did, so there's £600 gone.......5 days later I get a screw in one of the new tyres and it is not repairable!

another £300.......

One of our service vehicles (a VW golf estate) needed 4 new tyres recently.....£58 each!

Unbelievable the price of 20 inch tyres!

Think yourselves lucky, I paid just a shade over £1300 for a set of 4 on my 997 and I bet they will only last half the time yours will

Maws correct 3 year policy, paid for over 12 months at 0% cost

It covers puncture repairs, and replacements due to failure, not wear and tear

I have a habbit of getting screws, nails, bits of metal in my tyres, so for a small cost its worth the risk

obviously now I have a policy, i won't get anything in them, but worth the risk
