When I read it, only the word assuming was bold. Must have been a weird tablet thing.
It's a worst case scenario. Insurance companies dont make money by paying out on claims. They make money taking in premiums and not paying out. It's a pretty easy denial to find out that changing the tire size to something that does not work and disables a safety system in the car. Would they go to this trouble? Who knows, I suspect it depends on the $ involved, so really it depends on the medical portion (as that's the big money).
Either way, fix the damn tires and don't drive like an idiot. Take it to the track if you want to go that fast.

I'll need a citation to a case where a claim was denied due to less than factory tire stagger. Otherwise it's unsubstantiated theory.

Does your steering wheel move when you get in and out of the car? Or have you moved the steering wheel from one position?
If so, there is a clip under the steering wheel compartment dash that connects the streering wheel to the Active handling components. It's a white clip. If that comes loose, it can spark the AH at random times.
It's been many years since I looked into this issue, but I remember the clip being an issue.
I'll see if i can look up the old thread.
