[GMHG3N]

saturday night when down to the beach for a drive ect. parked the car at Elwood car park in victoria, anyway was just sitting along the beach with friends when the place started swarming with cops, so as you do you sorta lay low till the y dissapear, walking back to the car relize ive been given a carey, i wasnt even there!!! something to do with tyres, ive never heard of this b4 or seen it happen! anyone had the same thing happen?

[deathsminion]

You went to Elwood beach on a warm Saturday night with bald tyres, and you're surprised the cops got you?

I've had it happen to me before at a supermarket. Expect the fine/slip in the mail.

[Tom_1569]

WTF? never heard of it happening, and dont they normally stick them inside the car? Check with your local RTA and make sure its legit caus they normally give you a lovely fine along with it.

[deathsminion]

I didn't get a fine, but I got the sticker on the outside, and the slip of infractions arrived in the mail.

[GMHG3N]

didnt have bald tyres mateive got 255 on the ass and 235 on the front on 19inch rims this is what they got me for? the carery was stuck on the outside and the slip was taped on the front windscreen

[hakhawk]

are the tyres below minimum? if so, buy new ones, take it to cop shop and get it cleared. if theyre not below minimum, go straight to cop shop, get it cleared. then forget about it.

i doubt theyre going to send out a fine for a minor defect for tyres, but you never know, and you could find out when you go get it cleared

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

i had it happen to me once, pulled up outside of shops came back out had infringement for failing to stop @ stop sign! the thing is though i never ran any stop signs!!!

[GMHG3N]

shouldn't be aloud to do that ****, whats to stop then booking everyone while parked in a car park!?

[hakhawk]

why shouldnt they be allowed to? if you're in a car park, you're on public property and had to drive an unroadworthy car to get there.

stop whinging about it and go get it cleared. if you're still cut up about it, goto the police station and make a complaint.

cxcxcxvcvcvc: i had it happen to me once, pulled up outside of shops came back out had infringement for failing to stop @ stop sign! the thing is though i never ran any stop signs!!!

Two different sized tyres on the front and rear are illegal.

[AttaBoy]

Two different sized tyres on the front and rear are illegal.

There ya go.....

[Morton]

Eh? As in, one size on fronts, and one size on rears? What's wrong with that?

[GMHG3N]

thats what i thought morton

[Morton]

Yeah - there's nothing wrong with mismatched tyres, so long as the tyre carcass construction matches.

edit: you don't even need to have the same tread accross axles.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The ADR's state that the same carcass construction has to be fitted on the same axle, but the tyre placard tells you what size tyres can be fitted. Unless it states a different size for front and rear, then the same size has to be fitted all round.

[hakhawk]

but you can still go within the inch width rule and overall rolling diameter from the tyre placard can you not? this would allow different size tyres on each end

[Wagon_Wheel]

Thats BS mate..... I'd be so ****ed off, but if your tyres actually rnt bald i'd go complain.
And i thought it was fine to have skinnier tyres on the front, as long as the left and rights are the same on front and rear.... so same pairs....

[Grennan]

Haha and here we thought everytime coppers rocked up we would just all lock the cars and flock to the nearest open building and be safe. Guess that proves us wrong.

On top of that...done for having 2 different sized tyres? Whats up with all the people with stockies on the rear and 19s up front?

[cracker]

thats bull ****

[Sabbath']

Whats so wrong with sigs on the front and stockies on the rear...

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

but you can still go within the inch width rule and overall rolling diameter from the tyre placard can you not? this would allow different size tyres on each end

But it would apply to all four tyres.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Morton, it is illegal to have 2 different tread patterns on the front! Its advised that you have 2 same tread patterns on the rear but its not illegal to have 2 different treads on the rear.

[V85000i]

they put a canary on it, on it, on it, on it. what am i gonna do with all that cash, all that cash i made from weed, sell it and get.............

LOL

[Low_VX_Taxi]

But it would apply to all four tyres.

Ive got 8-8.5" rubber on the front and 9.5" would this be considered illegal?
