Can OSS tires have new tread from a grinder?

What kind of company do you work for?

That cheap?

Not really, depending on the state. The recaps may not be regrooved but depends on what gator they use to recap the tire.

Well each state had specific laws on the books.

What a cheap company.

By the way, here is the thing about the regrooving, there is a legal liability involved with all of it. There have been a few cases where the carrier and driver lost and lost huge. One was here in Michigan and the other was in Maryland, both were specific to regrooving tires that needed to be scrapped. Using a regroover is the proper way to do things, using a grinder is a big no! The mechanic that stupid should be fired and lose his license to be a mechanic. It is as bad as the moron who was beating the crap out of a gear set on an ISX that I witnessed (and videoed), he wanted to pad the bill. The problem is it was my truck and he got fired for it, they rebuilt the engine for free.

 

All I know is if I was a company driver and walked in the shop seen somebody grinding on a recap tire and claims the boss said do it. I would be cleaning my truck out & looking for a new job cause the hand writing is on the wall

 

THANK YOU!!

 

You & I both know how the song ends @Ridgeline lol

 

I'd be okay with them grooving an otherwise decent tire, however them using a grinder to do so would have me running

 

I think you are doing the right thing and smart enough to see what’s probably coming.. JMO
