Myself and the dealer had a good chat about the tyre insurance - he said the average miles driven for each puncture is about 80,000. Seemed a bit high to me, but even if it was half that, I still thought that with my low annual mileage it was worth the risk of not getting the insurance (which we thought was about equivalent to 1.25 tyres worth). Time will tell if i was correct in not taking it of course.
