  1. They stated that I do not own a £250 voucher for my initial insurance claim; nonetheless, I received an email from Kia confirming that I am entitled to this benefit and should not overlook it. Do not be concerned about that. That is only obtainable through the third-party insurance company, not Kia. In the event of an accident, simply contact your insurance company. Utilising the third-party option will elevate your insurance company's excess, which is the whole purpose of the £250 coupon. The Kia Excess Return Voucher and Kia Accident Aftercare are offered by Car Care Plan Limited.
  2. Numerous advice from fellow users are available (also refer to the approximately three million other tyre threads on this forum).However, following an encounter over the weekend, I can definitively say "no" to the Chinese Autogreen tyres. A buddy recently acquired a pristine 318i coupe equipped with a set of these very pleasing tires, which are evidently brand new and installed to meet MOT requirements prior to sale at no cost. They are not outdated inventory, as they bear a date mark from late 2024. He is having them replaced this week. He visited and took me on a drive merely to demonstrate their poor performance. I have owned several Chinese tires; currently, my E350 CDI is equipped with a set of "Sunwide" rear tires, installed by the previous owner for the MOT. To be candid, I intended to replace them, but they are satisfactory.I anticipated his tires to be subpar yet acceptable for the price; nevertheless, that was not the case. Intimidating is the term; it was arid and refined. The formidable 318i engine could effortlessly surpass traction even at moderate cornering velocities, and at the very least, it provided ample auditory alerts before to losing control.They are, in fact, consistently audible. Those tires have endowed the car with the capability to experience simultaneous oversteer and understeer! The owner possesses considerable driving skill and enjoys the experience, having been well-instructed. However, a typical budget-conscious driver utilising these tires for family transportation could easily find themselves in a precarious situation, potentially ending up in a ditch. It is astonishing that these tires are available for sale. Unpleasant...avoid!
