Even the most reliable cars have occasional defects and parts for modern cars can be tremendously expensive to replace. Click HERE (ARTICLE: Extended Warranties. Yes or No?) for the Team-BHP guide to extended warranties.

Drive straight into a reliable tyre shop to buy performance tyres and get the best possible exchange price for your unused standard tyres.

GTO,
What I have seen is, the moment i say, 'I want to upsize', dealer says 'No warranty applicable'. From his point of view, he says, any changes to the original specification, invalidates the warranty.

But then again, I do remember reading in this forum, that unless other wise proved, that the tire upsize caused 'a' particular problem, the dealer is bound to cover it under the warranty.

My question is it worth the trouble? Would I have to haggle with the dealer if something does go wrong with the new vehicle and he says you changed the original spec, so it is not covered under warranty?
