What could be a consequence of using tires that exceed the allowed size during inspection?

Using tires that exceed the allowed size can lead to increased risk of body contact. When the tires are larger than what is specified for a vehicle, they may protrude beyond the wheel wells. This can result in the tires making contact with the body of the vehicle, especially when turning, going over bumps, or during lateral movements. Such contact can lead to damage to the vehicle’s body panels, suspension components, or other parts of the vehicle, which compromises safety and can lead to costly repairs.

In addition to the physical contact, oversized tires can also affect the vehicle’s handling and braking performance, as they can change the center of gravity and alter how the vehicle responds to steering inputs. This not only poses a risk to the vehicle's integrity but can also create dangerous driving conditions. Adjusting to the increased dimensions usually entails recalibrating other systems in the vehicle, which can further complicate the situation. Therefore, maintaining tires within the specified size limits is critical for the vehicle’s safety and performance.
