About inspections
Inspectors must check the speed and load rating of all tyres on the vehicle when doing a roadworthy check.
Tyre ratings must meet the standards of the vehicle maker.
Vehicles with special tyres and wheels different to what was first provided by the vehicle manufacturer must have been approved by the technical advisory committee (TAC) and have a TAC certificate.
