sch.1-sec.46 Wheels and tyres—size and capacity

The wheels and tyres fitted to an axle of a vehicle must be of sufficient size and capacity to carry the part of the vehicle’s loaded mass transmitted to the ground through the axle. For subsection (1) , the size and capacity of a pneumatic tyre to be fitted to a vehicle must be decided using a cold inflation pressure that is not more than the lesser of— the pressure recommended by the tyre manufacturer; and a pressure of— for a radial ply tyre—825kPa; or for another tyre—700kPa. In this section— radial ply tyre means a radial ply tyre within the meaning of ADR (definitions and vehicle categories). (sch.1-sec.46-ssec.1) The wheels and tyres fitted to an axle of a vehicle must be of sufficient size and capacity to carry the part of the vehicle’s loaded mass transmitted to the ground through the axle.
