Judging Tires

How many points do they take off for a non delivery tire? This is a C4 vehicle I am talking about. Tires would not be original to the car but same mfg.

Re: Judging Tires

You need to give us more info on the tires, what year, run flats or not, did the car have run flats or not RPO code WY5 ?
With out that info it would be anywhere from 10%-60% deduct. That's not much help is it.

The car is 1993. The car was ordered with non run flats. Goodyear were the brand. The replacements will be good year.

What Davis is referring to is the table of standard deductions for a 1975 or later tire:

Deduct 10%---OEM brand and size tires which differ from original only because of markings or other minor differences.

Deduct 20%---OEM brand, type and size tires which differ slightly from original in design, construction, material, tread width, tread pattern, style lettering or pattern.

Deduct 30%---OEM brand, type and size tires which differ considerably from original in design, construction, material, tread width, tread pattern, style lettering or pattern.

Deduct 60%---OEM brand that is of the extended mobility type (run flat) on a car that does not have WY5 in the list of RPO’s on its Service Parts Identification Label or OEM brand but tire is not of the extended mobility type (run flat) on a car that does have WY5 in the list of RPO’s on its Service Parts Identification Label.

Deduct 75%---Non-OEM brand, with correct size and lettering.

Deduct 100%---Originality and Condition for incorrect size or those with white letters mounted inboard or outboard.
