| Stevie5tapes Member Since: 10 Jun 2012 Location: Brighouse, YORKSHIRE Posts: 1370      | When I got my General Grabbers AT tyres for my car, I checked with my insurance company about fitting tyres with a lower speed rating.  The AT's are a H were as the Wrangers they were replacing were V ratings.  Insurance company told me that insurance wise it wasn't an issue as long as I wasn't changing the tyre or wheel size. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

My insurance company insisted I informed them when I switched from summer to winter tyres as it was considered a "performance modification". Crazy but true so to be on the safe side I would contact your insurer by email so you have evidence of their reply if the worst happens and you have an accident.
