MOT - She faild today, Quick query
« on: 29 June 2012, 18:02 »
Hay guys

Quick question.

She fail today on bold tyre rite. So iv took her home to put
My spare on tht I had down the garden. "brand new"

Matey said it has to be the same size. My size of my tyre tht is illegal is
205/55 R16 91W

My spare wheel is
205/55 R16 91V

What's the score as the difference is 91W & 91V, if I put the spare wheel "91V" will it fail due to tht last number&letter?

Thanks.

Tyres/wheels have to be the same across the axle so front tyres both being the same size and same for rear. Your spare will be fine for the MOT  :smiley:

The difference between the 'W' & the 'V' is the speed rating - the 'W' is a higher speed rating. Potentially the difference in tyre tread patterns & speed ratings could impact how the car handles or brakes, especially when on the limit.

I never take chances on tyres - they are the only contact between the car & the road & it amazes me the amount of people that will drive on defective / cheap / dangerous tyres & risk the lives of other road users.

It's your conscience at the end of the day...
