A tyre is considered damaged if it has to be replaced or repaired for reasons other than normal wear and tear. If the tyre can be repaired, DirectLease will cover the costs.
If the tyre cannot be repaired, we will bill the costs to you. These costs are determined based on the tyre's remaining profile depth. Keep in mind that tyres with a profile depth of two millimetres or less will always be replaced.
Example: we use the following figures in our calculation:
New tyre: €100
Profile depth of new tyre: 8 mm
Remaining profile depth of the damaged tyre: 5 mm
Available profile: 8 mm – 2 mm = 6 mm
Let's say the damaged tyre has a remaining profile depth of 5 mm. In theory, you could have used this tyre until it reached a profile depth of 2 mm. As the tyre is damaged, 3 mm will go unused. This means we will charge you for 3/6th of the cost of the new tyre.
In this example, that means a cost of: €100 / (3/6) = €50
