puggled Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm hearing more and more that insurance companies are paying a lot more attention to tyres fitted to cars involved in claims.One guy even claimed the first thing the insurance assessor did was open the petrol flap to see manufacturer recommended tyre sizes and then comparing them to actual tyres.I was looking at putting 185 60 R14 on instead of 185 55 R14 as there is a huge difference in price and range. I need new tyres and it is one thing I don't like to scrimp on, so if by getting an extra few mm of sidewall I can get a named brand for the price of a LingLong then it seems to be a sensible thing to do.Any ideas if this is a bad idea from insurance point of view?

Defcon5 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Provided the tyre is meant to go on that size rim (Manufacturers state what sizes they will fit) you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
