Z4m alloys. Michelin ps3 tyres

[R_P_M_]

I'd take the tyres off and sell just the set of wheels - that means they'll appeal to both Z4M and Z4 drivers as they can fit tyres to suit.

I'd not personally use another manufacturer's spec tyre due to insurance concerns (I don't know the technical/performance differences between a Mercedes M0, Porsche N1 and a BMW * tyre, so wouldn't be able to make an informed decision on whether they're okay or not) - plus as the rears are shot, the new buyer would have to either replace all 4 tyres or take the risk of fitting/finding the rear PS3 M0 tyres to match the front.

Saying all that, I don't think £450 is a bad price for the wheels alone, so someone who doesn't mind having M0 tyres won't worry.

ebay will have a bigger audience though - and you wont get as many comments

There's no insurance implications of running MO marked tyres on a BMW.

There's no insurance implications of running MO marked tyres on a BMW.

Is that the ABI guidance for insurance companies, Financial Ombudsman rules, or just an assumption?

That's why I said "I didn't know", and "wouldn't take the risk", and that I'd stick to manufacturer-specific or non-specific ones.

I agree. There shouldn't be, and it shouldn't matter, as long as the tyre meets/exceeds your car manufacturer's requirements.

For a while there was the cases of some insurers listing winter tyres as a notifiable modification and drivers not doing so risking invalidating a claim - although most insurers have now signed up to the ABIs 'Winter Tyres Motor Insurance Commitment'...but not all, so double-check whether your insurer requires notification or not if you're planning or have switched to winters (I'm still on the all-seasons I put on last November ).


...and sorry to everyone who has to keep reading my crap about the detail of insurance policies, and making sure you read everything. This is only because of two fairly recent instances where I've had to go to the ombudsman for decisions (both ruled in my favour).

One was simply refused due to conflicting terms in two versions of the T&Cs. The insurer were quoting from a new version (which was the only version now available online) when I was quoting from the version I downloaded when I bought the policy (which was no longer available online). I spent weeks going forwards and backwards sending them copies of the old version, but they still refused the claim, so it went to the FOS who took 3 months but decided in my favour and told them to stop pissing about (in nicer, but more strongly worded form).

Research. Same as with ditching runflats. The nexens that came on the rear of my car should invalidate insurance though, they're lethal.
