    Speaking of outlawing they need to outlaw 10.00.20 tires period those tires can have 8/32 of thread and blowout and make a mess. And nothing is wrong with recaps i have 4 recaps on the front tandem and 4 virgin on the back axle of my truck.

    Yes, they are allowed on dollies, trailer axles, drive axles and steer axles of trucks, but not steer axles of passenger buses.

    Seeing as how recap technology has come a long way, I would say no to outlawing them. They reduce oil consumption and are a great way to recycle perfectly good sidewalls when tread goes bad on new tires.
