This is true, and my main reason for purchase. In the damp they can be hairy, but thats the trade off for being glued to the ground in dry weather

I wonder if this will make proper big flared arches popular again
So you're trying to tell me this won't pass?!
Thats a mild stretch compared to a few others that were there haha

The 90 degree thing....
Breadth of tread
The part of the tyre which can contact the road under normal conditions of use measured at
90 degrees to the peripheral line of the tread.
Reasons for rejection....
d. A tyre incorrectly seated on the wheel rim,

A very badly fitting cage !!
Front bars are protecting the windscreen more than the chassis !
Cant say that 90deg comment is particularly clear. ?

I got stopped about by the police when they where dipping on Wednesday and the cop went round my whole car and came back and said that someone had fitted "euro tires" lol. I asked him they where illegal and he said no, theyre just unsafe and let me on my way.
Id say theyre gonna start clamping down alot now though, more money for them now!
Mine arent even that bad compared to some peoples

They look ok to me. Both lookswise and safetywise.
Is the bit highlighted in bold not a bit contradictory though? If its unsafe, surely its illegal on a car?

Its just to show where the comment came from @stevieturbo, its a legal document, you didnt expect it to make sense, did you??

Seen this earlier on cakeface and understand the reasoning behind this decision.
In fairness, thats a question of wheel widths/camber, as the correct size tyre would be ****ed on that too.
Either way, thats a ****er right there.

Although in that image, the problem isnt strictly speaking stretched tyres.
It's the owner is a ****tard who fitted wheels/tyres far too wide for the car, and also removed the suspension.
So quite dangerous on a few counts and if stopped would deserve to be impounded as it is very dangerous..
I'd like to think that car would have failed any MOT test anyway, or been stopped at any roadside check.
I don't think it will fail, beads still looks seated properly
Rim protection makes it look like a gap
