Which tyres should I have? Comments please....have a few choices

I would love to know how your insurance company would know you had purchased part worn tyres.

I wondered that because once a brand new tyre has been driven on, it has become part worn, so how would an insurer know you bought it part worn tyre?

Then a Google search revealed the answer. Part worn tyres must be labelled as such.

"Part worn tyres which have not been retreaded must clearly show the relevant ‘E’ mark alongside which ‘PART-WORN’ must be permanently and legibly applied in letters at least 4mm high. These words cannot be hot branded or cut into the tyre."
