    >50mm will never be signed off by DoT in WA

    I've just had an interesting chat with Dept of Transport here in WA and they have confirmed that even after submitting my application there is no way that a tyre diameter change of greater than 50mm will ever be approved/signed off/etc. not even with engineering and an LT2 lane change test.

    Has anybody in WA ever actually bothered to get their larger tyres/etc. signed off/over the pits, and therefore how the hell did they do it?

    All I wanted to do was put some 235/85/16 on my D2.

    10% is allowed and engineering passable after that the WA boys don't care hence why most don't worry about it

    I ran 235/85 on my D1 over there and never had a problem with the cops

    Sorry to be the Fun Police!

    The cops are the least of your problems, have a accident your truck is not roadworthy, now hear comes your real troubles!
    I would hate to think how things would turn out if someone is killed.

    Cheers

    Couldn't agree more that's why I'm making sure mine's legal and signed off/etc.

    That's why I said after 10% the WA boys don't care even if you prove its safe they just don't want anything to do with it hence why most have 2 sets of tyres

    It's actually a 50mm diameter change, not 10%, which makes it even worse.

    That ruling sounds about as inteligent as the P plate ruling in Vic regarding V8s.

    VSI 8 states the same for Vic also. NCOP11 is the fedral standard this falls under, but nothing in there reflects the new VSI8 regarding the 50mm maximum tire size increase.

    I would be approaching the roads authority in WA and asking them to provide in writting the laws that stop you getting the larger tires certified.

    What was the largest factory tire size for the discos?
