Reifenschutzbrief

English translation: tyre insurance

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Reifenschutzbrief
English translation:tyre insurance

German term or phrase: Reifenschutzbrief
"Reifenschutzbrief:
- Schadensquote
- Wirtschaftlichkeit R-Schutzbrief nach Ablauf 1. Jahr ermitteln
- Konzept modifizieren
- an Händler kommunizieren"

This is from a management consultancy text about tire retailers. Am I right in assuming that "Reifenschutzbrief" means insurance coverage for tyres? If so, is there a better term for this.

I would be grateful for any suggestions, particularly in the next hour or so.

Many thanks

As I've already delivered this translation, I thought it only fair to close the handful of questions relating to it. As is so often the case, the simplest answer was the best, so I used jerrie's.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.

agree  Steffen Walter: Perhaps more explicitly "tyre insurance cover" but I wouldn't add "certificate", as David suggests. Viele Grüße ;-)

Tyre insurance Certificate


Explanation:
I THINK it is essential here to add the certificate - I'm not absolutely certain, though
