actually a spare is only an advisory. You cant fail on a spare no matter what condition it is.

i thought it was a fail both ways :S

Rather than having bald tyre's just change them for a couple of second hand ones down at your local tyre place

cost you £10 a tyre

Put the spare on, and leave your original alloy at home mate and you'll be fine.

Never even checked for a spare when I put my Nova in for an MOT. Didn't check the indicators either which is a good thing as they stopped working the day before and started working the day after

i do about it not being there. But he is wrong about a fail if bald. You cant fail for a spare tyre. Thats a fact.
