Yup.. They're fat.
On what wheels ? The 182's 16"'s I assume ?!

Nope.
They've been very well behaved sitting in my garage waiting for the cold stuff to arrive :rasp:
They look the business though... They'll be going on in a weekend or two I think. Too warm at the moment, no point.
Think I paid ~£67 a corner from Black Circles.

Insurance ? What was the question ?
As long as they are legal (i.e.: tread depth) why would it be a concern ?

Last year a lot of insurance companies were charging more if winter wheels were fitted, as they counted them as a modification. There was a big hooha about it. This year, most seem to have accepted that they are not a modification, as long as you use the manufacturers recommended size. You should still inform them however. That's all according to the article I read.
FLOL .. charging more to potentially save an expensive crash ?
Brilliant.
Why would you even tell your insurance company that ?! Not many cars have the same brand/model tyre put on time and time again to match the factory specs. No one tells them about that do they ?!

They are very fat indeed. So much so that they rub the arches on the rear of my 182.
So it's having the old tyres put back on tomorrow.
Lesson learned: stick to the recommended tyre sizes.
