Steering Tire requirements?
Posted by Kevin from Summerfield, NC, US on July 22, 2007
Are there certain requirements for steering tires used on commercial vehicles?
The CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) publishes a book of truck inspection guidelines for North American commercial trucks. For steer tires, the most obvious requirement for steer tires over all other tires on a vehicle is the tread depth. Steer tires must not be worn to less than 2/32nds for any two adjacent grooves but all other tires may be worn to 1/32nds. For more information, you may want to visit the CVSA website http://www.cvsa.org/
