Walleroo Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hi guys, I have two tyres that have perish cracks in between the tread. I'm guessing these are not safe and will not pass an MOT?.... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggy Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 i have had it advised on the mot before,prob depends on the tester.. I would personally replace them as it a safety issue..better to be safe than sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleroo Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Cool cheers guys. New tyres when they were put on. I'll just have I do lots of wheelspins on the drive to get some use out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'd replace them Waller, i used to work for a tyre company years back and have seen the results when someone thought they were ok - a blow out on the motorway gives you no warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleroo Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah it's all good. I will keep em on the car for now while it's stood still and for when I refurb the other alloys. Three sets of alloys an none of them have decent tyres.... Balls Burnouts on the driveway it is :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelRepair Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Tyres have to be stored carefully if not being used regularly. And cracks in the rubber make the tyre unusable. Also of course illegal tyres are 3 points and £250 straight off. (each). Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleroo Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Probably off the car do you don't get flat spots and at pressure indoors. I have not done any of the above I will just use these for storing the car over winter do not fear peeps I will sort out my other alloys first and deal with the winter ones at a later date. Thank for the info. I have a tyre fetish so it'll give me something to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppyuk Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Arn't they meant to be stored at a low pressure? Of course without the weight of the car sitting on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
