Not labour - the torys thought this one up .

Any tyre over the size 155x13 should be subject to a instant £25 per
tyre tax levy - as obviously large/big tyres need more metal and rubber
to make them - and cost more to dispose of .

In a way this does make good sense as if you have something that is more
damageing to the enviroment than other similar smaller products - then
it is only fair you should pay more .

It's another pile of steaming goat**** from Krusty.

155x13? Is there anything made that still uses something that small?
Even 1.2 SXi Corsas have 185/55/15's, and the shabbiest Kias are
probably on 14s by now.

Besides, even the teflon tyres on the unholy Pious^(TM) are bigger than 155/13.

285/75/22.5s and the like on buses and lorries are quite often
re-groovable anyway [1] so would the Nu-Krusty plan charge the tax for
removing and refitting big ****-off tyres?

The people should be told...

Couldn't you have left it in my KF?

Well, the key question would be "Width or height?"

Smarts use 15" rims and only 135s on the front. 15 is "bigger" than 13.
135 is smaller than 155.

So that's virtually every car on the road INCLUDING the Pius then?

I could have, but Krusty isn't in mine at present as I'm always
astounded by the new levels of ludicrousness (ludicrosity? If that's not
a word it should be. Maybe Ludikrusty?) passed off as "New government
plans".

Just because he's allegedly given up driving, the war on the motorist
has hotted up a touch.

I did concider making a post to say that there would be a new eco car
tax based on the overall area size of the headlights - as obviously the
bigger the car - the bigger the headlights it will have .

But even i have limits :-)

The side effects of whatever you take are starting to show Mr Troll.

I used to think it was harmless nonesense, but it's even overloading my
'load of old ****e' filter now.

How about basing a tax on exhaust pipe diameter (correcting for
non-circular pipes)?
