yes we had it on our cooper and claimed for two new tyres @ £167.00 Each
so it paid for itself right away - just make sure the tyre has legal tread on it and they will replace any damaged tyre

Yep - worthwhile - pays for itself even if you claim for 1 tyre. Just piece of mind. I have it for my MCS

I bought the 5 year plan for $500. I'm really skeptical about the insurance just incase I want to change the wheels. If I change the wheels I figure that my insurance for the wheels and tires will be null and void. Correct?

You have to ring up and arrange one of their approved tyre fitters to replace the tyre (had both of mine done by mobile fitter) as depots do not hold the Dunlops in stock!! The fitter will measure tread depth on all tyres and report it back and so long as punctured tyres depth was legal there is nothing to pay!

I took this policy out when I purchased my Mini, it cost me £150 for 3 years, which means it will pay for itself should I encounter more than 1 puncture within that period

the company is Car Care Plan which also offers other financial products such as GAP insurance, car warranties and Invoice Price Protection of which the latter I have......
