Stretched tyres and the law

I'd suggest that although it may not be illegal, your insurance company would argue that it's a modification from manufacturers specification for both the vehicle it's fitted to and the tyres manufacturing spec. As such, any vehicle that's got such a modification and is being driven on the road will undoubtedly be uninsured, and therefore breaking the law. I can't see any insurance company accepting that as a modification to the vehicle and allowing cover, can you?

It seems that peoples thinking goes if it's not specifically illegal then it must be ok.

 

It's the same thinking that means that when something bad happens it must be someone elses' fault and I can get money.

 

It's the same thinking that means it's somehow socially acceptable that driving into a rivers is the satnavs fault.

 

I could go on, but I agree with the posters above that it's not right, though the first inkling that someone will have that they are doing something wrong is when their insurance doesn't pay out.
