New Falkens on the way for Clubman

Well, after 22,000 miles of deafening tyre roar from Goodyear runflats, the fronts are now worn down to about 3mm, so I thought I'd take everyone's advice and stick non runflats on it.
the best value I could find, was on the net at Camskill,where I got a set of 4 Falken ZE912's for an amazing £186.20 inc VAT and delivery
just gotta hope the tyre machine at work is man enough to remove the damn things!! (never had to deal with runflats before!)
Do I need to inform my insurance company of this change??

Clubbin' it and Lovin' it

No it wont affect the speed,and the handling should improve, but cos non runflats are not standard equipment I wondered if it would be a good idea to inform the insurance company!
