Default My truck passed the annual inspection...with...

...this tire on the drive axle

The tread depth is measured at the most worn part = 0"
Done at a large Mack dealer in the Toronto area. My boss said it's ok to drive because it passed...haaa!
I should have added "Tire was retired shortly after pic was taken"

They really "didn't" pass it....somebody just wrote up the bill for the inspection.... :evil:

You and I both know that the OPP and the boys in the scales "wouldn't" be happy to see that tire, eh? I'll bet you a "toonie" to buy a blueberry fritter and a coffee at Tim Horton's that the boy's in the scales would be all over that tire.....

I'm pretty sure that your boss wouldn't want to be pulled for a Level 1 with that tire....

Hey...I spent the past week in and out of Canada....from Montreal to Sarnia and just came out through Windsor this morning....seems everybody was really worried about the scales being open.... I did see them doing some inspecting on the east bound side of the 401 just west of the Toronto area. Something up, or are the boys just getting "spring fever"?

In fact I was up there in Concord at the tank wash when that last big storm blew in...had to bobtail from there to exit 705 and go south to the water and a little more east to pick up a tank....not a fun ride on a sunday morning!!

Heading back up there on Sunday to deliver, then I'm going south, all the way to Florida!!!

Yea , stick a knife in it , or are all the tires that bad ,if so I'd be looking for anouther company to drive for,I'd rather have the hassle at a tire shop than at the mto/dot inspection, you know if they see that they'll be fine toothing the rest of the truck
