Truck and SUV owners will likely find that their vehicle comes with a full-size replacement. That`s because donuts are simply not practical for large vehicles. You have a higher center of gravity and are much more likely to experience performance issues if you need to create a small replacement. But what do you do if you don`t have a spare tire?!? Or call a tow truck and have your car taken to a tire repair shop near you. Do not try to drive on the flat, you will only ruin the tire and most likely the rim. It is cheaper to have your car towed than to replace a rim on most vehicles. If you have a spare wheel, it is also recommended to have all the necessary tools to change it if necessary. > a bald replacement, it could give you a fixed penalty in construction and use > regulations for a bald replacement – nothing to do with a technical inspection. >When I said it`s not on the street, I meant he doesn`t touch it. You can > have a bare replacement in your garage. OTOH, if you have one, it has to be legal, and you can get three points for a bald replacement, even if it`s not on the road. There is no legal requirement that a “spare wheel” must be roadworthy[1] (it can be as bare as a roof casket as long as you don`t use it on *ALL*PUBLIC* roads*) – nor is there a legal requirement that a vehicle even carry a spare tire! However, it should be noted that if you take your vehicle for the technical inspection while a space-saving spare tire is installed, the vehicle will break down.
Make sure you only present your vehicle for a roadworthiness test if four road-approved tires are installed. S6 labelling requirements for non-pneumatic spare tyres or tyre assemblies. Every non-pneumatic tyre or, in the case of an assembly of non-pneumatic tyres of which the tyre forms an integral part of the assembly, each non-pneumatic tyre shall bear in letters or figures at least 4 mm high the particulars referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph S6. The information shall be shaped, stamped or permanently marked in or on the non-pneumatic tyre or on a label permanently affixed to the tyre or combination. When a label is used, it must be printed underground, made of a material resistant to discolouration, heat, moisture and abrasion and placed in such a way that it cannot be removed without destroying or disfiguring the label of the non-pneumatic tyre or tyre assembly. The particulars referred to in paragraph S6 (a) and (b) shall appear on either side of the non-pneumatic tyre or tyre assembly, except in the case of a non-pneumatic tyre the specific side of which must always be oriented outwards when fitted to a vehicle; in this case, the information referred to in paragraph S6 (a) and (b) shall be required only externally. The information shall be affixed to the tyre or tyre assembly in such a way that it is not mounted on the tread or outer edge of the tyre and is not obstructed by any part of a non-pneumatic rim or centre wheel carrier intended for use with that tyre in this Standard or in Standard No 129. [1] A spare tire inspection is not even performed during an annual MoT – and a vehicle cannot pass a MoT because it has a faulty spare wheel. > >> If the MOT test is done correctly> >> then it is not necessary to have a spare wheel, but if you *do*, then it must be legal.>> >I guess you can back this claim with evidence?>> Of course not.>> Please read the tread where you would find that I accepted that I was wrong > quite some time before your message.
Not in a UK MoT station that tests properly. If you have a MoT with a failure for a bare or illegal spare wheel, you should definitely take VoSA using a VT17 (call) form. In other words, what`s the point of having a replacement part that you can`t use? Fitting a damaged spare wheel is not only dangerous, but will immediately result in a fine of up to £2,500 and three penalty points if stopped by the police. This check applies only to tyres fitted to road wheels. The vehicle presenter must be informed if it is detected that a defective tyre is present on a spare wheel. If you`re not sure if you need a spare tire, how they affect MOT control, what the benefits of spare tires are, and how to mount a flat tire, you`re probably not the first person to be confused about it. If you have one, don`t forget to do these security checks on it as well, although legally, when stored, doesn`t have to meet legal standards – it makes sense to keep it that way. If you plan to travel abroad, you should check the legal requirements of the respective country for spare bikes before departure. A non-pneumatic replacement tyre assembly is a non-pneumatic tyre assembly intended to be used temporarily in place of one of the tyres and rims fitted in a passenger car in accordance with the requirements of this standard. > Because *theoretically* since the advent of pressurized tire inflators/sealants, you no longer “need” a spare wheel for self-recovery>> My brand new Galaxy has no replacement, no jacking jacking, no jacking points, but it`s perfectly legal to > (even Ford is so stupid).

I >was wondering what would happen if I called the breakdown crowd, which traditionally charged for collection> if it was because you don`t have a replacement in those circumstances. The rules in Northern Ireland are different because it has its own legal system. I`m not in a position to dispute if NI tests spare wheels, but if it does, then the previous post is wrong. I doubt that you can record a failure of the TÜV in Northern Ireland with VOSA in any form. Garbage. Again, the spare tire is not part of the TÜV test or legality issues. It can be naked as a coot and flat as a pancake UNTIL you fit it into the car, in which case it must clearly be legal.– Dave Baker (c) Cold inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for front, rear and spare tires, subject to the restrictions of S4.3.4. In the case of full-size spare tyres, the words “see above” may, at the choice of the manufacturer, replace the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer for the cold tyre. If no spare tyres are provided, the word “none” replaces the cold pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
There are exceptions to this Malarkey technical control fault. For some cars, for example VW Beetle (old), you need the spare wheel of at least 30PSI to operate the screen washer (printing system). (a) a statement containing information on the proper use of the non-pneumatic spare tyre, including at least the information referred to in points S6(a) and (b) and either the information referred to in S4.3(g) or a statement that the information referred to in S4.3(g) appears on the vehicle poster and on the non-pneumatic tyre; This is a prerequisite for a private rental license.
