AA Tyre & Rim Warranty
What exactly is Tyre & Rim Warranty?
Giant potholes. Uneven kerbs. Unexpected road debris that suddenly appears in front of you. Driving on our roads is unpredictable and it’s quite possible that your vehicle’s wheels or rims could get damaged by something out of your control.
While these events are very annoying when they happen, there are ways to ensure that at least you won’t have to pay to repair your car out of your own pocket. Our Tyre & Rim Warranty will take care of these repairs, whether they’re due to rocks, potholes, broken glass, steel cuts or kerbs.
So, if you experience a frightening blowout, or hit an unexpected pothole at speed, at least you won’t have to worry about what finances you’re going to use to fix the damage.
With the condition of the roads in South Africa constantly declining, and potholes becoming bigger and more common, it’s so important to make sure you are covered with an AA Tyre & Rim Warranty.

Why should I get a Tyre & Rim Warranty?
- No unexpected expenses. Tyres and rims are especially expensive to repair or replace, so it’s great to know you’ll be covered for these costs in the event of an altercation with a pothole or kerb.
- Get back on the road again. You can’t drive a car without working tyres − so this cover ensures that you can drive safely once again, with minimum inconvenience to you and minimum damage caused to your vehicle.
- Fit it into your budget. Select the tyre and rim warranty option you can afford, whether it’s for 12 or 24 months.
PLUS, our Tyre & Rim Warranties cover you for any wheel alignment needed as a result of repairs, so you can keep your car running as it should.

Tyre & Rim Plan FAQs
What does my Tyre & Rim Warranty Plan cover me for?
This plan covers accidental damage to your tyres and rims caused by road hazards: cuts, snags, impacts and irreparable punctures or bruises from potholes, rocks, broken glass, steel cuts, kerbs and the like. Your tyres and rims are covered, along with the spare fitted to the vehicle when you took out the policy.
Punctures, and any damage that can safely be repaired, are not covered. Neither is damage caused by an accident, collision, fire, theft, malicious damage or neglect. Rims are covered for repair, but not for replacement if they are damaged beyond repair.
How much does a Tyre & Rim Warranty Plan cover me for?
You are covered for up to R20 000 for tyre repairs and replacements, and a further R20 000 for repairs to damaged rims, for the duration of your policy. Rims are covered for repair only, not for replacement. Your claims in total cannot exceed the current trade value of your vehicle, and the cover on a replacement tyre takes the wear on the damaged tyre into account.
What condition must my tyres be in?
Your tyres must be in a roadworthy condition, with a minimum tread depth of no less than 1mm.
Are any tyres covered by the policy?
The tyres and rims fitted to your vehicle and listed on the policy schedule are covered, along with the spare fitted at the time you took out the policy. Re-treaded tyres are not covered.
Where must I take my vehicle for repairs?
All repairs and replacements must be done at a Supa Quick fitment centre. You can find your nearest branch at supaquick.com.
Report your claim before any work starts, and within 5 days of the incident. Call 0860 267 267 on weekdays between 8am and 5pm and choose option 2, or log it at aawarranties.co.za/claims. If you use a repairer outside the approved network, an excess is deducted from what we pay.
