I have asked martin to move this to a new topic as its not really anything to do with spotted anymore.

Anyway
This insurance thing and wheel,s tyres front protection etc. I take my vehicles to my broker and we go over all the 'extras' that are fitted. The only reason for this is, if anything gets nicked off them I can get it replaced without an argument. Never have they questioned the legality of anything. But then again nothing fitted has been illegal as far as I am concerned.
Has anyone ever heard of an insurance company refusing a payout because the tyres were a bit wider than standard.

AndrewS,

I agree with your sentiments, there may be numerous insurance companies that will continue to provide cover or turn a blind eye over exposed tyre tread but on Confused.com there are numerous companies that will drop off the radar and refuse to provide cover as soon as you declare an A - Bar. Churchill my company is one of them, I telephoned them and they will continue to provide cover and load the premium significantly if the A -Bar is the soft type only, the metal type they will not cover at all! The ramifications of fitting something to your vehicle without notifying or seeking clarification from insurers can be potentially severe! Especially with my 'luck' that's why I always check!
