    Aren't Those the stupidest thing? Who the hell decided that was going to be the look of their state police cars in this day in age? I guess they figure nobody would dare try and impersonate a state police car if they have to put that ugly thing on top

    At least it looks like a cop. Not like a ski rack or whatever. I sorta like the look. Mayby I'm old fashioned?

    Figured you were. Lol. Thats ok. I'm serious too. It is a bright strobe, not the old revolving kind. Just like some trucks look like a car with larger tires, but thats just me. Not everyone's opinion. I know. All good.

    I like the Michigan DOT cars. The cherry on top makes them super easy to spot at a distance.

    It's ok to have them if they don't smell.

    Michigan allows 700 lbs per inch of tire width. On 11 inch wide tires, that's 14,400 lbs.

    Even the lowest rated tires allow over 6,000 lbs, so as long as you're not over 14,400, Michigan probably won't bother you.

    Bump this old thread.

    Is Michigan still 37' min and 41' max with their kingpin law?
