Hi im new here
I went down to local Kmart Tyre and Auto today to get prices on some 265/75 tyres, however the lady at reception was furiously trying to talk me out of it. Her reasoning was that if I had an accident, and the car was sent to vehicle assessment, insurance would deny my claim because 265/75 isn't whats written on my tyre placard, even though it's entirely legal by law to go up to this size on this vehicle (D22).
I am comprehensively insured with RACQ, and have just fully read the PDS and could not find anything regarding tyres, not even being involved in an accident with bald tyres. So it would be great if some could shed some light on this?
I didn't quite agree with all her beliefs, as she tried talking me out of All Terrain tyres and into highway tyres (even after I kept reminding her I do beach work), because the "all terrains would get ripped apart on the road".
