Tyres.. Etc

[bluejeans]

tonight driving home from work of couse I was flagged into the booze bus area

and thats when I had about 3 police go over my car - telling me my tyres were 'bald' - I got new tyres 6 months ago, i drive like a grandma everywhere due to the police attention already..

I was told my rego was taken and if im pulled over again with my current tyres they will take my car off the road..

so is there anything I can do to stop this? especially considering my tyres are pretty damn new and definitely have enough tread...

or do i just have to shut up and accept it and buy new tyres since they are the law?

rwc was done 1 month ago - passed.

same tyres.

Go to a couple of your "big name" tyre places and just double check with them. Also the place you got them fitted and just make sure they are still in good condition.

Get your balance and camber checked as well. A mate of mine got pulled up and one of his rears was bald on the inside. Someone had messed up the balance and camber last time he had his car serviced and it just ripped the tyre apart.

And last. Get a tyre gauge. Or some matches. If you stick a match into your tread and you CAN NOT see any of the red head, you should still have enough tread on the tyre. Also learn where the tread depth mark is on your tyres. There is usually a small triangle on the sidewall. If the tread grove is broken, meaning the depth mark is flush with the tread, then it is time for some new rubber.

There just helping you spend the stimulus package by paying some tyre place $30 to check your tyres.. put your head under the car and see how good they are on the insides if its like the outside of the tyre its fine.
