Get the tyre replacedThis was the right answer

The Great Britain restriction prohibits tyres over ten years old on the specified front steering axles and on minibus rear axles unless twin-wheeled. For retreads use the retreading date. Narrow exemptions exist for excluded vehicles and non-commercial historic use, not this ordinary commercial lorry.
