The cars tires wear out faster on the left side here due to the weight of the driver. Also, bearing in mind some performance focused vehicles are naturally ever so slightly lower on the passanger side. Now, if the car was designed and made for the RHD market then the left side will be even lower once driver weight is accounted for.

One example, the e36 BMW M3 right side sat slightly lower than the left.

That's what uninsured motorist coverage is for. It doesn't affect your rates. Also, he is only having to pay a $250 deductible under the uninsured motorist coverage instead of his normal $1000 deductible.

Unfortunately, no. I did get a description of the vehicle, though and the direction it was headed when I made the police report. We'll see what happens. Really no way any one can "run into a curb" on a straight away.

I did ask about the uninsured motorist claim but they are stating because there was no physical contact, they cannot claim it that way, however, it is still being filed as a no-fault claim.

You might be surprised :ugh:

:tup:

:icon14:

yah, those are decent tires, i have them on one of my wheelsets, but be warned they have round sidewalls.
there is a luv/hate relationship with that look.. :ugh: i personally hate the look.

Heh, no worries - I am more worried about road noise and ride quality than if my sidewall is a little round :P

:tup: u'll definitely like them then. they are pretty sticky too, and light weight.

I had the DWS on my 335i, but figured Austin is fine for summer tires :tup: so I went with the DW

yep, actually i run DWS on my dd.

Uninsured Motorist coverage is only applicable if the other party is at fault and without insurance or under-insured.

Be sure to have as much info as possible to support your case. They will try to pin it on you to recover the cost of the repair.

Good luck...

It's understandable that an uninsured motorist claim is not being applied in your situation. I believe Texas does not have no-fault insurance laws, so I don't understand what it means when the insurance company will file as a no-fault claim. I suspect in the end, your rates will go up.

....

I'm not buying your argument. :rolleyes: The non-replaced tires would be labeled unsafe if they already had unsafe tire tread. That's the owner's responsibility, not the insurance company.

You keep mentioning a "$hitty insurance company," but this rarely has anything to do with the insurance company but who is your agent and/or adjuster. You can have a similar situation, with different a agent and/or adjuster, and have different results. You can have a 5-star rating from one person and have a 1-star rating from a different person for the same insurance company. I know there are better rated companies, but even they have disappointed customers.

In the end, we'll see if he'll get all four tires. I hope he does, but I'm willing to side that he won't.

I'm getting all four but not all paid by insurance for obvious reasons. At this point I will just have to go with whatever happens with the insurance rates...ordering an in-dash cam but I wonder if that would have done anything if the other driver never made contact with my vehicle?
