joker97:qwertee: I do apologise for this post and a possible hi-jack of this thread, but could someone else explain what the second para means.
I was tempted to get this warranty at one stage

the link is http://www.bridgestonetyrecentre.co.nz/tyres/tyre-warranties/
Road Hazard Warranty Not all punctures are repairable. In fact, simply running over a screw in your driveway could damage your tyre beyond repair. Then you can be forced to pay for another new tyre! For just $12.50 per tyre, you can receive Road Hazard Warranty, which will make sure you’re covered for:
- Free puncture repairs
Any repairable puncture will be fixed free of charge for the legal tread life of the tyre.- Free tyre replacement
If the tyre can’t be repaired we’ll fit a replacement and you’ll pay nothing within the first 12,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first.- Protection for the life of the tyre
For the remainder of the legal tread life of the tyre (after 12,000km or 12 months), if the tyre can’t be repaired, you will only pay for the tread you’ve used. For example, if you have only used 15% of the legal tread depth you will only pay 15% of the tyre’s current value to replace it.

Free tyre replacement,: so if i have a nail in the side wall (cant be repaired), can I assume that I get a free replacement
and then have to pay the full price after 12 months or 12K kms . This is not FREE then. I am still paying at some stage?
sounds like a gimmick. without the 12k 12mth clause it's worth it. with it ... not really! what an escape clause!

timmmay: Tony's recommend new tyres be fitted to the rear - a change from a year ago when they fitted them to the front. They have a poster in store explaining why, and it's what NZTA recommends. So I let them because I have no position on it. If you want them fitted to the front they ask you to initial or sign a waiver or just their little invoice to disclaim responsibility.
So I'm taking advice from a tyre store and a government department, who took advice from tyre manufacturers, which I think is generally better than advice found online, even though I know you guys generally know a thing or two. I doubt it makes much difference either way.
Of course the half worn tyres (plenty of tred) are now on the front, and the front wears faster, so I'll need to go through it all again in another year or so when they wear through. If I put the new tyres on the front in a year or so they'd be close to even.
