Legal Issues & Stretching Tyres

[DubSteve]

have you declared it on your insurance...? good luck if you have a stack I'm sure the tyre manufacturers don't reccomend this.

You are tippy-toeing on water right there

I haven't declared to insurance along with a list of other stuff and I'm sure not a lot of insurance companies would insure that anyway! It's a risk I'll have to take. I know insurance is expensive and it's there for peace of mind, but being a student and a VW-modifying enthusiast, it's a compromise I'm willing to take as I don't need insurance to be any more expensive. I'm sure when looking back at this post 10 years on in a financially-apt position, I'll be thinking "how stupid was I?", but then again, who hasn't done stupid things and rebelled against rules while they were young?

I have had damages covered by insurance on this car before - let's just say what insurance doesn't know won't hurt them.

Shannons don't mind what you do as long as its legal, but then again they probably wouldn't insure your GL Ray. I had a hard enough time convincing them to insure my VR.

All depends on the accessor too. They can be picky right down to the book esp with rim sizes.

Can someone tell me what these numbers actually mean?



I guess the last number is rim size, the rest is unknown to me...

Someone was having a stoned day when they came up with tyre measurements.

WIDTH / HEIGHT / WHEEL SIZE

205mm / 45% (of the width of the tyre (205mm)) / 17 inches

I'm sure if they will insure it, they'd be asking for a large sum
