If your tyres have more than 1.6mm tread, they are E marked and the correct size for your rims, there is no way an insurance company could avoid paying out.

There is alot of pants talked about insurance companies not paying out, but they actually have a legal obligation to pay all parties involved in an accident.

They would have to prove that the chnage in tyres had a direct influence on the bearing of the accident, which in the case of running decent non RF's there is no way they could.

At worse they might withhold the £20 or £30 that they might have charged extra due to not declaring the different tyres, same for most modifications.
