    Just a recap seam, could last a year or 5 minutes. Tread looks about gone anyways, I doubt it would pass an inspection. I'd write it up, then you are kind of covered.

    Or put out of service and probably cited with a violation and fined.


    § 393.75 Tires.
    Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, tires shall have a tread groove pattern depth of at least 2⁄32 of an inch when measured in a major tread groove. The measurement shall not be made where tie bars, humps or fillets are located.

    Just a recap seam. As long as the tread depth is legal just run it til you can’t.

    I agree. Its just a recap seam. It's normal. If you look close enough, you'll find it on every recap. Its there. You may not notice it, but its there.

    If it’s under depth get it fixed. Just watch it closely, you see it starting to separate or peel. Get it replaced asap.

    looks illegal, the other one doesn't look much better.

    I wouldn't run them with a lot of weight.

    Looks good to me it’s a recap they all have a seem in the tread also I like to inspect the side of the tread to make sure it is not peeling off. Legal tread depth is 2/32 for all tires except steer and 2/32 to me looks #### near bald.

    Lincoln penny test. Put the penny in the groove with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you see space above his head, the tread has less than 2/32" tread and needs replacing. Test should be done at three(3) different spots around the tire.
