Was he talking BS

Problem is here that the tyre fitter is part of a national chain and while we all know non RFT's will fit and indeed be accepted by insurers, he's constrained to fit OEM type else in breach of his companies rules.

If you drove around the corner on a non RFT he'd fitted and crashed then guess who'd be held responsible by many in out litigious society...

Of course add to that that some tyre fitters are not top of the food chin and they get mixed up between fact, fiction, myth, policy and a bit of BS

i went to my normal tyre guy and he wasnt happy to fit non RFT's for this reason. he made a phone call to his mate at bmw who said they have no problem and called my insurance company to get the OK before he would go ahead. i totally understood where he was coming from as some tossers will do anything these days for an easy buck

You need to change the topic title to say "he was"

Out of interest did you remember to re set the sensor? If you didn't I will come back on again after a few minutes even if you don't loose any pressure.

Yep, sensor reset with no issues

Absolute cobblers!- Ive changed all my tyres and my insurance company say they are not interested as long as the speed rating is same or above and suitable for the vehicle.

esure's view on my 130i was as long as the new tyres do not increase the performance of the vehicle (!) then they dont consider non RFTs to be a modification = no charge.
