CDL · Vehicle inspection
As you look over the tires during a pre-trip inspection, which statement is accurate?
Correct answer: A vehicle should not be fitted with tires of different sizes.
Answer options
- AA vehicle should not be fitted with tires of different sizes. Correct
- BFront tires are safe with as little as 2/32 inch of tread.
- CIt is fine to put radial and bias-ply tires on the same axle.
Why
Tires of mismatched sizes are a defect to catch during the pre-trip inspection. Radial and bias-ply tires should not be used together, and front tires need at least 4/32 inch of tread in every major groove, so 2/32 inch is too little for them.
