Is it permitted to change the size of tires on a vehicle?
- Correct answer: Only if it is approved in advance by the Licensing Authority in the Ministry of Transportation.
- Yes, to any size the driver wants, provided that all the vehicle’s wheels are replaced with new ones.
- Yes, if the change is approved by the insurance company.
- Absolutely not.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Only if it is approved in advance by the Licensing Authority in the Ministry of Transportation.
The tire size is set by the vehicle manufacturer and recorded in the vehicle's registration, and it affects braking, stability and the accuracy of the speedometer. It may therefore be changed only with the prior approval of the Licensing Authority in the Ministry of Transportation. Replacing all the tires with new ones of a size the driver wants, or approval from the insurance company, does not replace that approval.
