Insurance company only care about getting paid, if the fault is not on you, they process the claim just the same.

Incorrect!! Insurance companies care very much about paying out claims and will look for any reason to avoid it - I reckon having a car tyre fitted to your bike would be a godsend for them. I hope it never happens to you but if you do crash on your car tyre-equipped bike you'll be fscked!

Exactly my point! Doesn't matter if you are 100% blameless, the insurance firms will use it as a reason why you Could be to blamed!
You can always tell your insurance company what you have fitted and see what they say  :2thumbup:

I can just imagine what the insurance firms here in Blighty would say......." He had WHAT on the rear wheel!" END OF CLAIM!  :nono

Insurance company only care about getting paid, if the fault is not on you, they process the claim just the same.

You are so far off the mark about insurance companies that your statement is NOT even funny.
I have 37+ years in that, and related, fields of endeavor that have taught me quite a lot over those years.
In other words....I KNOW MY SHIT INSIDE AND OUT.
I also happen to personally know a few "crash investigators", one of which works for a current 2 wheel vehicle manufacturer.
Seeing a car tior on a wrecked moto is plenty of grounds for the carrier to walk away from a claim - no ifs, ands, or buts.

Go read your policy......and IMHO they should have a "stupidity deductible" for people just like you.
Having to deal with "armchair experts" such as you just makes my life a living hell.....

As for this thread (and the one before it)....
I stuck my nose in here at the behest of another forum member just to correct you;
I've said my piece, and I shall not engage in a continuing battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Toodles....I'm gonna go ride my Brick that has REAL tiors on it   :riding:

As usual, when a Darksider gets called on their incessant raging, they start insulting people.

Who did I insult exactly?

Telling people that do not agree with your point of view .. a point of view that is dis proven by facts, experts and physics, that they are close minded for not agreeing with you is not an insult .. okay ... I guess I have to stand by my previous comment .. you are indeed an idiot. Delusional as well.

Sorry Sparky, you started it, you are making in fool of yourself post after post.  Please continue ... it is actually pretty entertaining, in a train wreck sort of way.

So you are the one throwing the insult and have zero experience about mounting or riding a car tire on a 2 wheel vehicle and you think you know all about it?  Who's the fool, really.

As a matter of fact they will send an investigator or adjuster out to determine the extent of damage to the vehicle.

Re your comments in the other tyre thread, the first thing it says on the FJR thread is...

RUNNING A CAR TIRE ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE INSURANCE REPERCUSSIONS. Claims in tire related accidents have been both denied and accepted.

Good luck with your claim!
