About offical tyre profile from car maker

[Best_ctzn]

Need advice from fellow MCFers.

 

Passenger cars have to send for inspection from 3rd year onward. Will the inspection center check the tyre profile to be same as recommended by car maker? And if it is loose about this, what is the biggest deviation you ever try and could pass the inspection?

 

I understand normal rule of thumb is to change within 5%. But if it will affect inspection outcome, then I better stick to official one.

 

Many TIA.

no worries. they normally check whether your brakes good enough, headlight string enough. tyres botak anot. alignment ok anot. undercarrige got hole anot. and signs on whether the car has been modded before.

so long tyres within acceptable depth, not botak, and all 4 tyres same size...should be ok

your tires are not supposed to hit any part of ur car body or stick out from the side of the car. other than that, shd be ok

Based on above LTA criteria for inspection, like tyre profile is not a factor leh.
