tyre tread depth for rego q?

[Bleach1]

Ok during last week i went in to get a pinkslip for my skyline. The guy failed it because the rear tyres are to low. Now i didnt think it needed new tyres so i got my trusty tyre depth guage and measured them. The minimum tread depth on both of the rear tyres was 4mm. I know they are low and will need replacing in the near future but im not going to buy a new set of 265/40r18's until i have got the max wear out of them. Is there anywhere i can find the regulations for the pinkslip check on the net? I can only find the vehicle standards information sheet on the NSW rta website but not anything specifically relating to the roadworthy check as i want to print the out and take them back to the mechanic who failed my car.

Thanx.

Can't call up another mechanic?

Just pick one at random "I wanna do a pinkslip but thinkin i shoudl change my tyres before i come down - what do they need to be?"

yeah, i just wanna stick it to the guy, he had a bit of an attitude.

i have always thought that they pass/fail the tyres depending on whether the wear markers have been reached... if they have then thats it.

borrow some wheels off ur mates (hopefully they have some tread left on their tyres!) or borrow some stockies off someone and pop them on.

The tyres were well above the wear marks. This was a few days after the EVLR34 crash and the guy and a few times while arguing with him he said "im not letting those tyres pass on a car like that". Anyone took it somewhere else today and they guy passed it, said the tyres were fine.

That's what I was going to suggest you do.

Yeah, Ill give you a hot tip, dont go to the shell on Alison road next to the race course for a rego instpection. I dont think the old mechanic likes skylines. (i know your a local).

i live near there too ill make a mental note i know the shell...

Go and ask for Luke at Eastern Mufflers on Anzac Parade, 100m down from the Alison road corner.
