I'm looking for a list of street legal tyres in NSW. Is there a legal list or a banned list? Is any treaded tyre legal so long as it is not marked "not for highway use" or words to that effect?
You can buy any type of tyre so long as its approved with the
DOT or whatever its called in Now..
BUT if Your wheel rim is too wide or too narrow its again illegal..
I believe 145 x 15 or 165 x 15 are legal on beetle rims seeing the original size tyre was 155 x 15..
I've never ever heard or anyone having their tyres banned by the poilice after being checked..
I've never ever had the tyres checked?? by police etc..
I'm not talking about late model cars that have a plate on the car advising the size or in the car manual..
its normal to attract attention if the tyres are outside the wheel arches... and illegal..
with so many laws nowadays, especially for later model cars
unless it came on the car... YIKES...
but oldies like beetles etc.. and cars over 40 years old...???
If You buy tyres from a tyre service , they should be OK...
Korean tyres seem OK.. I don't know about chinese tyres??
but have seen some odd named ones about...
