The whole scheme is so illogical from the logistics / practicality point of view, that I would not touch it with a barge pole!...

BA Insurance Inspector will reject tire claim if tire is repaired..

What the heck it is supposed to mean? As I read it, it is a plain and simple get-away clause. And what do you do for a fifth puncture in a year? Spend 17.5k again? Crooks! I would rather keep a spare / puncture kit with tubeless tyres (all 5 changed for the price of one RFT), and forget about it all.

Vijay, If it is to teach them slippary characters a lesson, go ahead by all means. But even the consumer courts are not as effortless, and for somebody who is not close to the process (like a lawyer in the family etc) it can cause a lot of heartburn, disturbing your routine / peace. I would let it go as a bad investment... Of course, you are the best judge.

BTW my insurance is up for renewal in June... and I am thinking about changing from Bajaj Allianz... I don't want such pissing-in-the-plate-when-I-am-hungry.

Dont you have the BMW AMC? If not, its an expensive fix. As Krishna has stated, its better to swap the run flats for a premium tubeless tyre set. Surely, in our conditions where even boulders find their space on the road, run-flats aren't very practical.




Where there is a wheel, there is a way!

Will changing to premium tubeless tyres affect the suspension of the care ?
