Incorrect.... Within a week of Delivery the tyre pressure sensor gave me a warning on the M6. I pulled into Hilton Park services and noticed a nail in my rear Drivers side. I inflated back to regular psi and called Kwik Fit in Cannock. They told me it would be a new expensive tyre.

I called my regular Tyre dealer, Tyre tradersa in Darlaston and they told me to drive it there. Within 10 minutes Tyre was repaired for the sum of £10 ($16)

I have since driven 4000 miles with no issues. Sounds like a bit of a tyre dealers/insurance con to me
