    I don’t know how far the yard is, but why wouldn’t they fix it then? Before running another 400 miles. Sounds like he’s being a Jerk. You’ve already taken a chance, and waited till your reset. That tire may be legal, for a little bit further, but it looks to be right at the wear indicaters. Barely Legal, if that. I would go right over his head. Not even bother with him. He had his chance.

    Document it, run it til it blows, maybe it’ll be like the Freightliner I seen earlier, blew a steer tire, blowed the bumper, half the hood off the truck.

    Most satisfactory. Now you need to make sure the tire techs don't try to put an 'H' rated tire with a 'G' rated tire.
     
    Kolorado Thanks this.
