Nominal Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 My son was told by a WOF guy that he needed mudflaps on his lifted 4WD (all certed etc and had a many WOF's before). A different WOF man was happy to let it go through on the basis that the rear body/bar provided enough coverage. So it may be that the WOF inspectors have been asked to tighten up.

Imo it seems to me that bureaucracy has taken over lvvta too It always gets you in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told a while ago (probably a couple of years ago) to make sure lifted 4wds had mudflaps that comply with the virm I looked at the virm and found that diagram that I posted earlier, and for the same reasons as I posted earlier (many unmodified vehicles not meeting the requirement in the virm) spoke to lvvta who was going to look into it further, I also spoke to someone at NZTA who thought the diagram had been changed incorrectly This would have been pre covid at least as the guy who I spoke to only attends meetings via skype since covid, and I spoke to him in person Just had a look and the 2021 update was cof only, cant find when wof one was changed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Not just scratch built, that will be for all modified vehicles At the moment most things are covered by standards and the CCM is for more complicated mods LVVTA is changing their system to simplify things by making the standards a basic document and making the CCM the thing that everyone uses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderwebfx Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 What is the correct ruling when it comes to this image in regards to tyres with sidewall tread This is a tyre we sell a lot of for example, and on a lot of the Ford Rangers we put them on, the sidewall tread sticks out of the guards but the rest does not.

But vertical (sidewall) tread is not part of the tread in regards to guard coverage. I would expect coverage of the horizontal to the red line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Also for everyone waiting, here is the draft new Tyre Size to Rim Compatibility Guide which has gone out for consultation. It may be subject to change, so don't count all your horses in one basket yet. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 I just used that on a job Do I get a chocolate starfish for being first? *edit* some feedback, the size I'm looking at was not on the old sheet, but is covered on the new one so that's good 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Interesting, bit of a change from the last one, fixed what was probably actually an error on the old sheet which i was hoping too use on my car but ah well it happens haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I hope that having a single sheet is much easier to use than the bible that the old one was. That was my idea so you can blame me if not. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Chart is broken, it says you can't put a 205 50 15 on an 8 inch rim. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Same as before, but if you get a note from mum the tyre manufacturer should be all good? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 @KKtrips thanks mate As far as compiling this how was it done? Looking at various manufacturers recommendations? Ultimately curious about the variance in rim width based on profile, is that because a 70 profile is generally designed to be a balloon sidewall but a 30 profile designed to be rigid?

xsspeed Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Chart is a way better set out btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
