2. TYRE FITMENT

Commission Regulation (EU) No 458/2011 of 12 May 2011 concerning type-approval requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers with regard to the installation of their tyres and implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor Text with EEA relevance · European Union

All tyres normally fitted to the vehicle, thus excluding any temporary-use spare unit, shall have the same structure. All of the tyres normally fitted to one axle shall be of the same type. The space in which the wheel revolves shall be such as to allow unrestricted movement when using the maximum permissible size of tyres and rim widths, taking into account the minimum and maximum wheel off-sets, within the minimum and maximum suspension and steering constraints as declared by the vehicle manufacturer. This shall be verified by performing the checks with the largest and the widest tyres, taking into account the applicable dimensional tolerances (i.e. maximum envelope) related to the tyre size designation as specified in the relevant UNECE Regulation. The technical service may agree to an alternative test procedure (e.g. virtual testing) to verify that the requirements of paragraph 2.3 of this Annex are met.
