Would you drive a truck (local route) if this was one of your steer tires? And yes, that's four different spots on the same tire.
I spotted it that way last week. Showed up tonight and first assignment was to go pick truck up at tire shop. Imagine my surprise when they fixed two rear tires, replaced one rear tire, and left that one on the front.
I sent a pretty stern email saying I'd drive it tonight, but never again. The guy that makes the decisions to replace stuff said (in an email reply):
Believe it can be operated carefully, but need to replace at first opportunity.
And the owner of the company replied to that one with a response that included:
I agree not necessarily a safety hazard on the inspection or notification but the longer this runs the more water can fail the steel belt?
Am I over-reacting? I'm assuming Mr DOT wouldn't be too happy with the condition of that one.
