Evidence collection to support a consultation on old tyres

The aim of the project is to obtain data from a sample of vehicles to understand the age distribution of re-tread and first life tyres fitted to HGVs, buses, coaches, minibuses, taxis and private hire vehicles. We will use this data to inform the Government's response to public consultation on the use of older tyres, this response will be published in the autumn and may result in a legislative change. Data from this work will be used to quantify costs and benefits in the impact assessment that will accompany any new legislation.
