Tyres are the shoes of your car and probably that one component that takes the most abuse. Apart from shouldering the entire weight of your vehicle and not to mention its occupants, tyres are subjected to all the abuse of varied road surfaces. And lest we say, considering the road conditions in India, you can only imagine the torture your tyres go through😊!
So, getting car insurance with tyre protection cover in a country with unforgiving road conditions makes complete sense! And here’s why:
Modern day car tyres don’t come cheap. The more expensive the car, the more expensive the tyres. Not to mention, our infamous potholes and broken roads, can damage the tyre when we can least expect it and can least afford it!

Tyre Protector Cover in car insurance is an add-on that provides financial coverage for the repair and replacement costs for damaged or missing tyres of the insured car. It also covers the labour costs involved in carrying, removing, refitting the tyre, etc.
Since the standard car insurance plans do not cover damage to car tyres, so to protect your tyres and enhance their coverage, you can opt for tyre protection insurance add-on along with your Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy or Standalone Own Damage or OD cover by paying an additional premium.
The cost of replacing the damaged tyre with a new one is included. The cost of replacing a damaged tyre varies depending on the type and size of the tyre. High-performance or specialty tyres can cost significantly more.
Labour charges toward removing, refitting and rebalancing of the tyre. These services typically include removing the old tyre, fitting the new one, and balancing it to ensure smooth driving.
Accidental loss or damage to tyre and tubes which would in turn make the tyre unfit for use. This includes issues such as bulge in tyre, bursting of tyre and damage/cut to the tyre.
The cost of repairing a punctured tyre varies based on the severity and location of the damage, which is why it is not included in this add-on. Also, more complex repairs, such as sidewall damage, can be more expensive and might require tyre replacement.
This damage may include issues like weak spots, improper bonding, or material flaws. So, if a tyre is damaged due to a manufacturing defect, it is typically covered under the manufacturer's warranty. However, if the damage is due to services provided by an unauthorized service centre, it may not be covered under the warranty.
Damage arising out of violations of operating instructions such as racing or rallying because high-speed driving can cause excessive wear and tear, overloading that can lead to structural damage, improper inflation, etc. Such damages can result in significant costs and are usually not covered under standard warranties.
Improper storage or transportation can lead to various types of damage, such as physical damage caused by dropping, rolling, or improper stacking, contamination caused by tyre exposure to chemicals or pollutants, damage from pests or insects, and more.
Routine maintenance ensures longevity and performance of tyres, such as wheel balancing, adjustment, alignment, etc. These expenses are not covered under this add-on.
