A MAN must pay almost £300 for having balding tyres on his car.

Mainul Mithun, 36, admitted the offence.

Mithun, of Pound Hill, Crawley, drove his car along the A275 London Road with the illegal tyre fitted to the front nearside on May 27 last year.

Brighton Magistrates fined him £159 and ordered him to pay £124 costs.
