jjsaul:
And unless they start by educating everyone in decoding the numbers on the side of tyres it aint gonna work anyway...

Half the people out there dont understand the size numbers  :lol:

defenderdan:
I read it in LRO ages ago

Budgie:
Just searched through the DfT site and can't see anything on there.  :-k

I don't know about this alleged new law, but tyres do degrade due to the effect of UV light and weather, in addition to normal running wear.

Putting a timescale on this deterioration seems impractical as it depends on how and where the tyres are kept - on a vehicle, outside or in a garage or in storage.

I have had to change tyres on my Range Rover and my caravan due to ageing, when inspection by the "eye-ball Mk I" showed deterioration evidenced by cracking of the rubber.

Remoulds should not pose a problem as new rubber is applied to an existing carcase, the whole being subject to the relevant British/EU standards.

As today's gem of useless knowledge, airlines will only accept one-in-four new tyres, because they are prone to failure on the first landing. The other three have to be remoulds as they have proved themselves to be sound.
