[WA] Info on defects

[Kirbs]

Just wondering, Can I get defected for having 2 15" steelies on the back and 2 18" rims on the front, all with road worthy tread, Without getting a defect. This will only be temporary until I can afford new rear tyres.
Cheers

Cheers to whoever moved it here (Y)

all tyres and rims fitted to the vehicle are of the same size and profile

Ok, I finaly found info on the useless WA government website. Not only do they take our money, they also give us the joy of going through 500 pages just to find one line of information. I get defected I get defected I spose.

Thats'd be the only state. Every other state uses the pair rule, fronts work as a pair, and rears work as a pair, so it wouldn't be illegal here.....

[Kirbs]

Meh, Would prefer this rule than power to weight ratio rule I spose.

Wether or not it is a defect, it will draw attention to your car and then they will defect for anything they like

Even if it's just passed pits?

you would probablly have better luck if you put the stockies on the front rather than the rear if you put them on the rear then you will look like youve just been doing burnouts giving the cops a reason to pull u over

im sure if you told cops you had a stuffed tyre and you thought it would be safer to have 2 stockies than just the one it would be ok

Even if it's just passed pits?

Yes, any cop can defect you any time, and its your time and money to prove its legal.

[Kirbs]

Aww ok, Because when they pulled me up the first time it took them half hour just to find another defect other than the tyres. I even jumped out the window because my door wouldn't open and they didn't say anything.

There are a lot of people going around the Rocky area thinking they are all cool with stockies on the back, was a HUGE thing for awhile, and because of them and yes alot of them did do the worng thing, you will be tageted, no matter what your intentions are.

Better safe than sorry, maybe go to your local DPI and ask the question, you might get a "leave pass" as such so as to when you getp ulled over, you can show them that and they won't go thru the rest of your car. Some cops are pretty good, but others can be real doosheses lol..........

just excersize caution and don't do anything silly until you get your rear rims.

[Kirbs]

Yeah well I currently have an extension on a work order but my mate needs his spare, So if I have yellow sticker with paper work they shouldn't mind aye?

apart from the fact that u intend on doing burnouts, y would u do that? its wat caused me to be pulled over by the police and its wat gave me a defect. not worth it mate.

[Kirbs]

Read posts above dude.

I've been pulled over running 2 16" black berlina stockies on the rear and 18 front runners and never gotten a defect for it,

they generally check you aint got rubber in your guard, check that it aint too low and your on your way, I've -never- heard of someone getting a defect for literally just having 2 stockies on the back, theres always something else they find that generally causes it.

I ran around with stockies for ages mate, you'll be fine.. as long as you don't drive like a tool!

[Kirbs]

I got a bit of rubber up my guard from doing skids on my mates farm. I sourced a few extra stockies just to be safe.
Cheers
