Summary of Issue

Pulled over a Dump Truck that hauls Asphalt. The tread area on the two rear tires in a dual set is covered in solidified asphalt completely filling the tread to 0/32" measurement. Each tire in the dual set is completely filled with the solidified asphalt. Another tire was same way, but the other dual was clean.

Justification or Need

The tread was not worn it was completely filled in so as there was no tread shown to measure. The regulation speaks of worn tread but not filled in tread.

Request for Action

Does this create an imminent safety hazard and if so, would this be considered an OOS condition?
