    Zoom in on the picture I posted you can see the gap . I haven't tried prying it up to see if there is wire showing under it

    Send that pic to your safety compliance officer in a text and save his response. Ultimately it's your call.

    Nope. See where that chunk is missing from that tread? That means you have less than 2/32nds on that tire at that point, and even that tiny bit CAN be used against you.

    Anywhere the tread depth doesnt meet minimum requirements, they can require that tire to be replaced.

    If it was one of my trucks, we would be changing it out right now.

    If you don't and get pulled into a scale and the officer sees it, you might be there for a little longer delay than you originally thought.

    That gal in that Seymour, Indiana scale would love to see that tire come in there. She was tough.

    I'd get that replaced ASAP. Is it loaded? I'd be really afraid to run that with a load on it.
     
    JReding and Instinktz Thank this.

    In 2016, I wouldn't even have a conversation about running a bad tire.
