Interesting right or wrong

personally i think they the c.l.a are wrong

Tyres over 10 years old on heavy vehicles to be banned from February 2021

Earlier this year, the Government announced that tyres aged over 10 years will be banned on the front axles of lorries, buses, coaches and all single wheels of minibuses (9 to 16 passenger seats). The legislation takes effect on 1 February 2021. We will be enforcing the legislation at roadside checks along with the vehicle annual test. Find out about the full changes and what this will mean for your vehicles in our latest Moving On blog post.​

Shouldn't be needed but it's probably a result of too many accidents or too many vehicles being pulled over with tyres that aren't fit for the road because no one can be arsed to check them before taking them out.

They will fail a mot if they can’t read the size on it

I thought it covered trucks and coaches, I don't think it was ever intended to cover ag trailers but I can see how a jobsworth may extend it to shooting trailers. Can't see VOSA coming to check though.

Dunno. IMO " Shoots " aren't really agricultural, and perhaps vehicles connected with it should come under the same rules as commercial vehicles. But once clipboard types start inspecting tractors and trailers, they may develop a taste for it.........

The tyres are the least of their worries on most shoot trailers.....
However, reading @roscoe erf posts alone, I'd say the CLA are wrong.

Too right! A blowout on the way to the midden with a full load on doesn’t bear thinking about.
Better check the tread on our wellies too.

It's a passenger vehicle so I guess there would be more rules than a sh1t hauler.

Tyres over 10 years old on the steering axle of trucks buses etc and single tyres on minibuses. Not trailers tractors etc etc. Cla is wrong on this one.

 

[startinghandle]

This will play havoc with owners of vintage lorries where some tyre sizes are obsolete

Can’t see where it mentions sizes

Can’t see where it mentions sizes

because this is about the new law regarding 10 year old tyres and agriculture
