Tire Bulge

Use your best judgement. You can be a couple inches over height or a few inches wider than your permit. I personally would rather buy extra over width permits (if it doesn't cause me to need a pilot car). Or split the difference and hammer down.

 

This thread is a gold mine of bad information..........

 

Perhaps. But at least it is FREE!

 

Was about to post the exact same thing.......14' high is legal in most states for example. Thats a gem of which I will have to remember

And worth exactly what the OP paid for it! Money back guarantee and all....

OP, I go by the tread on the tire myself. If the tread is on the trailer, but the sidewall bulge is over a little, normally I wont stress it. Pulling an RGN though, if that is the case my binders/chain hooks normally stick out further so it is less noticeable for me. Going inside the rub rail though is a different matter.
I certainly wouldn't go too far over as permits are pretty cheap, especially when comparing them to fines etc. And no, if you get busted, I wont be paying your ticket, so buyer beware!

If you check the RAND McNALLY you will find that all states west of
the Mississippi that do not touch the river have a height limit of 14'

 

Fixed it for you.

 

That does not equal "most" states

 

Just the ones that count,,,, CA excluded

 

Hey, be nice.
