How confident are you that they are safe? Just consider what would happen if an idiot drove into you but had the benefit of a thorough insurance inspector.

Guardian.:
very as ive been using them for the last 9 or 10 years and never had a problem, used to drive like a loony, never were a problem, been sideways in a ditch, they werenot a problem, and if they were an insuranceissue, then they ought take that up with the garage that fitted them, as i said, all the ones ive ever called fit them on these rims, some did say better on10"" but ok on8" and sell them like it.
it is definately safe, and thats what he asked.
there are loads of things that i bet most people on here have that areperfectly safe, but an insurance claim might be made difficult due to something or other.

I got the BFG Mud terrain tyres, the only thing im worried about is going off road and a tyre comes off its rim, looking more into it a lot of people have 12.50 fitted to 8'' rims so they must be o.k,  Ben

Guardian.:
i think you will find nearly all of them have.

hrh_dave:
But the question also has to be posed, is how many dealers refer to the reconmended sizes and not just fit what is the cheaper option............
