"Approved" tyre brands?

[BTB 500]

Read in my R129 handbook today: "Only certain brands of tyre are approved. Contact your local M-B service station for details." (or words to that effect).

I wonder what the insurance implications would be of using a "non approved" brand of tyre ??

I actually tried to find that thread rather than starting a new one, but failed!
