Title: Tyres Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Monday, April 25, 2022, 10:50:42 I’ve just put my car through the Greek equivalent of the MOT.
I thought the only requisite was that the horn was working. Apparently I need to replace all 4 tyres. The tread is fine on all of them but, apparently, there is a use by date on tyres whether they are worn or not. Is this just a Greek thing?

No legal requirement here in the UK but they recommend changing them once they are ten years old even if they look ok. https://www.uniroyal-tyres.com/car/tyre-guide/tyre-knowledge/the-importance-of-tyre-age-as-well-as-tread-depth Title: Re: Tyres Post by: 4D on Monday, April 25, 2022, 11:15:33 I thought it was 5 years.
