I need to replace the tyres on my 2.5 Treg (235 65R 17 108V). I had narrowed it down to two (General Grabbers or Toyo Open Country H/T). My local tyre dealer states that I should have tyres that are additionally 'N' rated. He states this also applies to similar vehicles such as Porsches. The tyres that I wish to purchase are not N rated. My current tyres which are Michelin Diamaris do have a rating of N0. He states that if he sells me non N rated tyres he would have to issue a disclaimer stating that he has made me aware that the tyres are not N rated. Apparently this could affect my insurance cover.
If this is the case then it would appear that many Treg owners insurance cover may be affected. I also telephoned VW Technical Support who had not heard of this additional tyre spec requirement and just told me to replace like for like which I don't want to do.
I would be grateful if anyone could clarify the situation regarding the N ratings and Tregs.
