Made some phone inquiries with the N.S.W. R.T.A. today, in relation to changing vehicle tyres.
Spoke to a knowledgeable old bloke (1300 137302 - technical inquiries, for tyres or anything else), who told me that vehicle tyres can be altered from the fitted tyre placard on vehicles, up to 26mm more in Width, and up to an Overall Diameter increase of 15mm, without need for re-certification of the tyre placard.
There are other information sheets, the one for tyres is number 9.
Go to RTA on the web, search for Vehicle Standards, then click on Vehicle Standards Information Sheets, then click the Information Sheet you need.
As a side issue, the RTA is installing Red Traffic Lights at the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel to control traffic congestion, and there will also be installed a Safety Camera, should you not stop for the red light. Due to start on 15th December.
