Does this mean it's a dodgy compliance? Not necessarily. Depends who's selling the car and at what stage through compliance it's at. If it's already been through compliance successfully, they may have just replaced them with second hand/worn/etc ones. Nothing to legislate what happens to a vehicle post-compliance.

Is there any way to find out if it is ligit or not? For the car to be registered the RTA would check the complicance etc to make sure it is ligit wouldn't they? Thanks just a bit worried before i go ahead with purchase Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122326-tyres/#findComment-2258916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz0r$harP.UK Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well check if it's complied and registered that's about it. If it's kosher the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please. There's no requirement to keep the new tyres on once it's gone through that process.

Noel Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well check if it's complied and registered that's about it. Check with DOTARS to see if the car is complied, check the car has current rego, but if it has that the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please. There's no requirement to keep the new tyres on once it's gone through that stage. checked RAWS & the car has been complied according to VIN number i got off the car & details match those i got from a VIN Check so i guess it should be pretty safe Thanks for your help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122326-tyres/#findComment-2258970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewid Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Once a car has been complied the new tyres may be taken off and sold or taken back to the tyre place or used again on another import or whatever. What they probably did was put new tyres on it then took them off after compliance and put the Jap tyres on. Pretty dodgy morally but technically legal I suppose. It's gonna be you who has to pay for new tyres if you buy that car. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122326-tyres/#findComment-2259004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzanMakinaci Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Does anyone know what is supposed to happen to the Jap tyres after they have been replaced with the new ones for compliance? Is the RAW supposed to destroy them? Can I get them back? Cheers, Ozan.

Tyres had 70% tread on them, so I ended up using my brand new yoko's first and then switched back to the GIII's. They were a little hard, but after a track day tehy seem to come good.

OzanMakinaci Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 What about from a legal point of view? Since I bought the car are the tyres mine and therefore I decide what happens to them? I checked the compliance legislation and it doesn't say anything about the old tyres. It simply says that new tyres must be fitted. Therefore I don't see why it's up to the comliancer since the tyres belong to me. Am I wrong here? Please let me know. Cheers, Ozan.

sewid Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 You get to keep the tyres. If you dont ask for them back though im sure they'd probably keep or destroy them themselves.

Sambo33gtst Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 It really depends on who is doing the compliance for you. The ruling is; New tyres must be fitted to comply with Australian Road Standards through the Compliance process. So what many compliance workshops do is, put on a set of stock rims and tyres for you while the inspectors come out, once they bail, they throw ur other ones on (if they arent too badly worn) and you drive away. Good way to save some money Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122326-tyres/#findComment-2416506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
