Ensuring Roadworthy Tyres: A Vital Part of Your Vehicle's Safety

When it comes to keeping your vehicle safe and compliant on the roads of Victoria, understanding the minimum legal requirements for tyres is crucial. Tyres play a significant role in ensuring that your car is safe to drive and during a Roadworthy Inspection, they are scrutinised to meet specific standards. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we are committed to helping you understand these requirements and provide services to ensure your tyres are in top condition.

Legal Requirements for Tyres in Victoria

In Victoria, a vehicle must undergo a Roadworthy Inspection to ensure it meets safety standards before it can be sold or re-registered. One of the key components of this inspection is the condition of the tyres. Here are the basic legal requirements:

  1. Tread Depth: The minimum legal tread depth for tyres in Victoria is 1.5mm. Adequate tread depth is crucial for proper traction, especially in wet conditions, to prevent skidding and accidents.
  2. Tyre Condition: Tyres should be free of any damage such as cuts, cracks, or bulges. Damaged tyres can lead to blowouts and significantly increase the risk of accidents.
  3. Matching Tyres: Vehicles must have matching tyres on the same axle. This ensures even wear and balanced handling, providing a smoother and safer ride.
  4. Proper Inflation: Tyres should be properly inflated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Incorrect tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.

Importance of Roadworthy Tyres

Having roadworthy tyres is not just about passing an inspection; it’s about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, affecting steering, braking, and overall stability. Worn or damaged tyres compromise these crucial functions and increase the likelihood of road mishaps.
