Pursuant to section 161(3) of the Land Transport Act 1998, notification is hereby given of the making of Land Transport Rule: Tyres and Wheels Amendment 2007 (Rule 32013/2). This amendment Rule, which comes into force on 1 November 2007, amends Land Transport Rule: Tyres and Wheels 2001.
The amendment Rule:
? changes the tread depth requirement so that it applies to the latest tyre tread designs, as well as to older designs;
? rectifies an omission from the 2001 Rule by including, in the table specifying requirements for new tyres, Class LE2 vehicles (motor tri-cycles with two wheels at the front and one wheel at the rear);
? updates references in the 2001 Rule, and definitions, so that they align with those in Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Standards Compliance 2002.
Land Transport Rule: Tyres and Wheels Amendment 2007
