It makes me so mad that as a responsible driver who actually bothers with insurance, updates my insurance company with any changes and fits winter tyres to reduce the chances of an accident, they want to screw me for more money! Plus these are standard BMW wheels fitted by BMW and actually smaller that my summers!? I deserve a bloody discount.
That's after they charged me £25 to change the car on the policy when I got my new one. As usual, it's the honest ones that pay the price.
It's esure btw.

Strange they should charge when they have signed up for the Winter Tyre Motor Insurance Commitment:

Call them again armed with this guide.
I'm with Aviva and they don't charge.
