lovely. will try that option and "downgrade".
extra comfort sounds good - as in addition to winter we have terrible roads. :thumbdown:
and local insurers are less strict than you guys have - they don't care at all. :eusa-shhh:
Be warned, "they dont care"
until you make a claim and then the insurance assessor writes up a report on any damages and makes a note that you do not have the correct spec tyres.
Believe me any "grey area" whilst making a claim and they could turn down that claim or worse still cancel your insurance, so you could even be uninsured at the time of an accident or claim for not disclosing a modification.
By the way it's not the "local" insurance people that kick up a fuss, it's the big underwriters who have to cough out the money in the event of a claim that will use any excuse not to validate a claim, and keeping any info from them is just what they like to see to stop a claim from being paid out, so be careful ok.
Imagine a total loss claim that involved your car and another 3rd party's car, lots of ££££££££££££££££'s to pay out, therefor no stone would be left unturned to try and reduce or even cancel insurance payout costs.
So It's always worth letting them know, just to be on the safe side, it wont cost anything, but at least your policy will be up to date. :thumbup:
