Retreaded Tyres

[wajidm]

Anybody aware if retreaded tyres ( HGV and LCV ) are allowed in UK?

 

[Mr A P Davies]

As far as I am aware, yes, they are allowed.
You should be able to find the definitive answer somewhere in the VOSA website, I would think. (Good Luck........)

There is a fair bit of legislation surrounding the remoulding of tyres, mind. You'll soon come across it.

Yes. of course
I use it

 

[Paul Norman]

They are legal, subject to a number of rules.

I am not sure whether you ask as a buyer of such tyres, or a seller. Personally, tyres are one of those things that I would be looking for the cheapest option on, especially if people I employ are going to be driving vehicles I own.

i see so many of these threads at the central resrervation or outside the hard shoulder in motorways. I think they have come off tyres while driving and potentially very dangerous. Imagine a HGV had rethreads and it came undone and smash a small car in the windscreen. It could drive the car out of control
