Title: Wheels Tyres and the Law
Post by: drum on December 11, 2005, 23:09:47

As I understand it, you tyre tread must not stick out beyond the body work on either side. Simple fine.

But I was idly musing today, does anybody know what the rules are for tyres sticking out front and back of a car??

same applies i believe. One of Panzers mates hybrid the rear wheels went beyond the bodywork....looks really odd and scary at the same time.

I think you will need some sort of Mud-Guard on them?
Bit like the cars of Yester-Year? :lol:

far as I know,you only have to have a certain amount of tyre covered by mudguard(measured looking side on in degrees)
As long as this is covered, tyres can protrude front and rear. Ill check in the mot manual later for any further info
