Tyre Size Legallity Question???
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 9:37 am
Hey Guys...
I'm in the process of buying a new sierra, one that has been professionally built and has had all the hard work done already.
It has a SPOA conversion, engineered for 31 inch tyres. It currently has 33 inch tyres on the truck at the moment. My question is, will it pass a Vic roadworthy inspection with the 33 inch tyres, even though it has an engineers certificate allowing 31 inch tyres?
These are my thoughts... If a car comes out with say 31 inch tyres and you put 33 inch tyres on it, then it is still roadworthy in Vic because you are allowed to go 2 inches bigger than the standard tyre size.
Please correct me if i'm wrong... I just don't want to waste my time having to change wheels and tyres over...
Thanks,
RPM
