[QUOTE="Katabatic, post: 579563, member: 19153"] From NSW Transport: [url]https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/vehiclesafety/tyres.html[/url] Nothing there that suggests that five year old tyres are automatically unroadworthy. The criteria for unroadworthiness seems to be: [url]https://www.tyresandmore.com.au/news/are-your-tyres-roadworthy[/url] If tyres have been well looked after, run at correct inflation pressure, and kept garaged or similarly protected when not in use, there is no reason why they should be automatically considered to be unroadworthy simply because they are over five years old. If your five+ year old tyres meet the criteria for roadworthiness at the time of an accident, an insurance company would have little chance of denying your claim on that basis. A bit of info here on the date marking system: [url]https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-advice/check-age-of-tyres-vital/[/url] Note the penultimate paragraph: [/QUOTE]
