The vehicle code clearly says... blah blah blah b.s. blah blah.. that projects beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire.

is the side wall the traction surface of the tire?
+1 Well spotted. Also for the record, cops who run around giving tint, exhaust, and other bs tickets are ****ty at thier jobs.

I always saw those tickets as a get out of jail free card instead of a speeding ticket say, or the you must have been a HUGE douche to the cop to get that many fix it tickets in one stop. Not to say some cops don't suck and target that stuff is happened that way to me before, but the overwhelming majority of the timei have ever been pulled over I was only given a verbal warning at most.

wtf?

27454. A tire on a vehicle upon a highway shall not have on its periphery any block, stud, flange, cleat, ridge, bead, or any other protuberance of metal or wood that projects beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire.
This makes it illegal for me to run 205/55/16 tires on 2000 RS 6-spoke wheels... because the 205 is on the minimum side of use on 7" wide rims; even though that is the recommended size on the 2000 RS.

Not always the case.

I got so many tickets that they filled up the front and back of two different tickets. It was something like 13 or 16 violations.

i was nothing but respectful the entire time I was stopped. I had done nothing wrong to get stopped in the first place.

After a year of talking to the DA every week or two they never submitted the tickets... no charges filed. Etc. It was a pure b.s. deal and it led me to take apart and sell my car because I got tired of it.

Another time I got 2 tickets on one... and 2 tickets on another. I was very nice to the officer. What he ended up doing for me was giving me 2 fix it tickets... not cheap but no points. Gets the state the money they're after. And he put 2 moving violations on one ticket. I paid one fine (the higher of the two) and went to traffic school. No points.

He actually did me a solid by what he did but I got 4 tickets.

I should have gotten twice that many and probably gone to jail or at least been at risk of loosing my ticket for 6 months.


But often times you're right. It's a way for an officer to stick it to someone that is being a dick to them. Like... oh you want to mouth off... here's 5 fix it tickets at $25 a piece or whatever it is now.

LOL!

Not really, the section width on your average tire that size is about 8.5".

Your average 255s on a 9.5" (per Javirex23) is a slight stretch on most tires and square on those than run very wide for their size. 205s on a 7" wheel should be decently meaty.

Rim Beyond Tire?.... You mean Tire Beyond Rim? What?

Although I'm old enough to be a pops now, when I first began driving my dad told me "Once an officer catches you with one thing, they're gonna look for everything else."

So all of a sudden your loud exhaust turns into 5+ codes. So yea, even cracked window shield could lead to the rest. I'm older now, so I just don't drive as spirited anymore and I don't really need any mods.

I think it is $25 for a signed off one as of a few years ago. Used to be just $10.
