350zStephen Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Your insurance may be invalidated if you lower the speed rating of the tyres on your car from factory fitment. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Rear Pair of Bridgestone Potenza RE040 - i thought these were the factory fitted tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 As far as I know, they are factory fitted. But V rated is not original equipment - the wrong tyres have been fitted to the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 So what is the orginal speed rating? All i could find was H which is only rated at 130... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zStephen Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I work for a very large tyre company, and I manage tyre accounts for a variety of different leasing companies. I can assure you, we've had bills from a few different lease companies for the cost of repairs on cars due to one of our garages fitting a lesser speed rating than what was authorised and the insurance companies fail to pay out for repairs due to this. If it was the case that speed rating did not matter, why not fit S or T rated tyres to all UK vehicles, as surely no one will exceed the 70mph speed limit? Insurance companies will do anything to wriggle out of paying up, so why downgrade your tyres from factory spec to save a few quid? I've not looked at this size, but sometimes V rated tyres can be more expensive the W/Y/Z rated depending on the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
