[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 451264, member: 9512"] A very good friend of mine, he has moved dealerships now, used to be a Senior Technician at the local BMW dealership. They had an tuned M3 or M5 I can't remember which now in for tyres, customer picked tyres, but they were not BMW approved. He was wary about fitting them, so queried this with his boss, boss spoke to customer, customer insisted. They had a policy of always test driving vehicles before they went back to customers, no matter what they were in for. So, he test drove it. All over the road, almost uncontrollable. Bearing in mind, before he was allowed to drive any of the M cars, he had a week long driving course @ Millbrook and he had to pass or he would not have been allowed/insured. He went back to the workshop a bit white, spoke to the boss, and agreed to swap the tyres to a set of approved to check that it was the tyres, not the car. He was an ex-ATS guy so he was not convinced about the approved tyres thing. He swapped them out, and it was a different car. So much so, they got the customer in to test drive it with the approved tyres, wait until they were swapped for the ones the customer wanted and test drive it again. The customer went with the approved tyres. So, it does seem to make a difference! [/QUOTE]
