In Romania, the ITP (Inspecția Tehnică Periodică) is a mandatory vehicle inspection that ensures every car on the road is safe. One of the most common reasons drivers fail this inspection is the wrong tire choice for ITP.
🔧 What inspectors check on tires
– Dimensions must match those listed in the vehicle’s registration (CIV).
– Load and speed indexes must follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
– Physical condition: no cracks, cuts, bulges, or severe wear.
– Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm for passenger cars.
⚠️ Common mistakes drivers make
– Mounting different tire sizes on the same axle.
– Using winter tires in summer at high temperatures.
– Choosing heavily worn second-hand tires just to pass inspection.
🚨 Risks of using wrong tires at ITP
– The car fails the inspection and must be re-tested.
– Traffic police may issue fines and seize your registration certificate.
– Non-compliant tires increase accident risk and fuel consumption.
📌 Expert recommendation
Before booking the ITP, check the CIV for correct dimensions and ensure the tires installed are approved for your vehicle. Investing in quality tires guarantees safety and a higher chance of passing the inspection stress-free.
Conclusion:
A small mistake in ITP tire choice can cost you more than money – it may also endanger your safety and keep your car off the road.
