Question 1032 in the bank

What is the permitted tyre size for a vehicle?

  1. As determined by the tire manufacturer.
  2. Any size of tire, as long as all the vehicle tires are of the same size.
  3. As approved by a licensed garage.
  4. Correct answer: As determined by the manufacturer and noted in the vehicle’s registration document.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As determined by the manufacturer and noted in the vehicle’s registration document.

Tire size affects road grip, braking, stability and the accuracy of the speedometer. So the permitted size is the one set by the vehicle manufacturer and noted in the vehicle's registration document. Any size you want, the size set by the tire manufacturer, or the size approved by a garage is not the permitted size.
