Stretched tyre law?
Hey folks tried searching but couldn't find anything tbh.
One of my mates has a golf with stretched tyres and the police are trying to give him 12 points?
can anybody shed some light on the whole stretched tyre law?
cheers for any help.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, FWB: GGQ1) is a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising technologies corporation. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products,[5] and generates profit primarily from advertising through its AdWords program.[2][6] The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the "Google Guys",[7][8][9] while the two were attending Stanford University as Ph.D. candidates. It was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998, with its initial public offering to follow on August 19, 2004. The company's stated mission from the outset was "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful",[10] and the company's unofficial slogan – coined by Google engineer Paul Buchheit – is Don't be evil.[11][12] In 2006, the company moved to their current headquarters in Mountain View, California.

How stretched are his tires? I don't know any law on them but I completely agree if there is one.

Surely the manufacturer's spec is for the tire to be fitted to the same sized wheel as the tire?

Well if it's outside of the recommendations then surely they're unfit for use so there must be something enforceable about that. I certainly hope so anyway. I hate the idea of stretched tires.

Have any of the people commenting on stretch tyres on here ever, fitted, been in or driven a car with stretched tyres on it?
It's difficult to say what size tyre fit on what rims as the tyre width to wheel width varies, even on new cars.
Saying that I can't imagine some coppers, legal or not, like some people on this thread, would ever be happy with them. I know 1 mate of mine had to get his car recovered home after being pulled, though can't remember if they had a problem with the stretch or the poke
