Ever see that Family Guy episode when the salesman knocks at the door selling volcano insurance!? :cool:

"So perhaps you'd be interested in something no homeowner should be without - VOLCANO INSURANCE!"

If you're on run flats, what are you insuring against?

Just buy normal tyres, repair is what? £10-15.

Thanks for the replies
Run flats are non-repairable and the suspension is tuned for these heavy tyres.
Also insurance companiews view fitting "normal tyres" as a modification, they would need to be informed.

Did the salesman tell you that by any chance ?

If you change the tyres most Insurers would not have a problem with it assuming the tyres you fitted were comparable, it would however be best telling them.

Did the salesman try and sell you their grossly over priced GAP/RTI/RVI insurance as well ?
