this id ue to the fact if you have a spare that is bald, get a flat, and swop it you are now breaking the law.

hope this helps:thumbs:


how can u be done for carrying a bald tyre? thats like carrying a bottle of alcohol in your car and being arrested for drink driving

law states u can only be done for a bald tyre IF its on the car. full stop

No its false. Theres no law agains the carrying of bald tyres within a car. They would have to PROVE intent to use it.

But what if you are taking said bald tyre to the garage? You could have a van with 50 bald tyres in it. They would have to prove your intent to use it!

a spare tyre is not apart of an mot even if it is bald as your dad never is the rear wiper. u dont have to have a spare tyre as vx220 dont have a spare it just has a can of tyre weld. if u do have a bald tyre in your spare and u get pulled by a police man in a bad mood they can do u for intent 2 drive with a bald tyre coz they c it as if u were to have a puncture u would put your bald tyre on.
