I would like to see a transcript of the call first.
Just spoke to my insurance company regarding the fitting of Kumhos on my front standard rims. (Admiral multicar policy)
My premium would go up by £65 as it would be classed as a modification.
Regards Mike.
QED in relation to insurance companies treating different size tyres on standard rims as a mod. If you fit them but don't declare them, your insurance is likely to be null and void in the event of an accident.
I am happy to be proven wrong but until then I will remain sceptical about the likelyhood of being charged for changing tyres and the legal impact.
The kumho 195 will fit a 5.5 inch rim. So why is it classed as a modification? Are cut slicks in the correct sizes also considered a modification? What about winter/summer tyres?
