PURPOSE: This amendment changes and clarifies the locations at which tire wear may be checked and rejected during safety inspections.

(1) Inspect all tires except the spare tire for tread wear, knots, cuts, separations, mismatching of tire types and for tire markings such as "reject" or "for non-highway use."

(2) Reject vehicle if:

(A) A tire is worn at any location other than the wear indicator to the point where there is no tread configuration;

(B) There is a localized worn spot that exposes the cord;

(C) Tire has any cut or separation that exposes the cord when the tire is inflated or if the tire has any knots;

(D) A vehicle has a radial and a nonradial tire on the same axle;

(E) A tire is marked reject, rejected, not for highway use, farm use only, for nonhigh-way use, for race track use only, or marked with similar terms, or if determined beyond a reasonable doubt that these markings have been removed. This does not include tires labeled with the word blemish; or

(F) The tire size of any dual is mismatched by more than one-half inch (1/2") in height.
