Louise- tyres Basildon writes Penalties related to faulty tyres,
The penalties for offences related to the use of faulty tyres on vehicles are very severe. In the case of any vehicle, except goods vehicles and vehicles adapted to carry more than eight passengers, for every offence there is a fine at level 4 of the standard scale with discretionary disqualification and compulsory driving licence endorsement with 3 penalty points. Level 4 is currently £2500 and each faulty tyre is considered as a separate offence. Two faulty tyres equals £5000.
OFFENCES CAN RELATE TO:
Tread depth: a tyre worn below the legal minimum. Mixing: an incorrect mixture of radial and cross ply tyres. Inflation: a tyre not inflated to make it suitable for the purpose to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put. Cuts: certain long and deep cuts as specified in regulations. Lumps, bulges or tears: caused by separation or partial failure of the tyre structure. Exposed ply or cord Unsuitability: regarding the use to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put or to the types of tyres fitted to its other wheels.


Louise at basildon says Dangers in buying Part-worn tyres.

There are many dangers in buying part-worn or ‘second hand’ tyres. Their history is unknown and they may have been removed from a vehicle involved in an accident or have been badly damaged by ‘kerbing’ or similar problems. Repairs may not have been carried out properly, for example to British Standard BS AU 159f. Regulations require a part-worn tyre to be marked “PART-WORN” adjacent to the E e or BS mark, to indicate that it has been properly examined internally and externally before being offered for sale. Some faults only show up if the tyre has been inflated. Tread depth must be at least 2mm across the whole breadth of tread
