And VSI 9 - Wheels and Tyres. (For interest)

NB - VSI 9 contains an age old problem and that is of tyre 'speed rating'. Now, the ADR on the matter virtually stipulates for new market vehicles that a car must be fitted with tyres bearing a speed rating that are equal too, or exceed the vehicles maximum top speed performance, Fair enough. However, here VSI 09 (also used around AUS jurisdications under NVS) for post ADR effect, allows tyres to be fitted that are speed rated LESS than the cars top speed maximum, something NT is not pleased with, and nor should they be.

Arrived at because 'the maximum speed limit is just 110km/h', for politically correct reasoning you see, but has serious potential trouble for NT when such equipped vehicles visit NT. Very dumbed down and arguably most negligent.
