Retreaded Tyres

The motor traffic regulations require that all retreaded tyres fitted to motor cars (omnibuses excepted), motor car derivatives and multi-purpose vehicles on and after January 1 1980 comply with the provisions of Australian Standard AS 1973, Retreaded Pneumatic Car Tyres.

The standard requires, among other things that an identification of the retreader, and the words "Retread" and "Speed Limited" are permanently and legibly moulded on the retreaded passenger car tyres.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The identification may be provided either by the name, registered trademark or other means, such as a code number assigned by the Motor Traders Association of NSW. The speed limits of 120km/h and 140km/h apply to retreaded cross ply car tyres and radial car tyres respectively.
