Old Tyres

[Grummyb]

I'm sure this has already been covered but I see no harm in repeating it aside a safety issue
As of this week VOSA or DVSA whichever set of letters you prefer will be checking and prosecuting drivers of vehicles over 3500kgs who have 10 year old tyres on the front axle 3 points and £100 fine so its timebto check your tyres boys and girls
Personally I wouldn't want old tyres on my steer axle regardless of the weight of the van

I wouldn’t want them on any axle!

If there’s one thing that you shouldn’t take a chance with,it’s your tyres.

I don't think it applies to motorhomes.
Still good practice but they are excluded from the legislation.

Only applies to commercial vehicles, not a problem mine are worn out in about 3 years.

Sorry folks just re read the article and it does indeed only apply to goods vehicles.

You really don't want to take a chance of old tyre's exploding under a fibre glass body.

Mel recently did a video showing how to check the age of your tyres.
