Defects, Maintenance Releases and Schedule 5

Leadsled noted on the Barrier thread..
... Sadly, many GA tyres are thrown away with life remaining, at great expense, at an annual/100h inspection, because of a stupidity in Schedule 5. Serviceability of an aircraft tyre does not depend on the weather forecast for a flight. Tootle pip!!
The question is how much discretion does the workshop have in releasing a GA aircraft to service?
