I'm looking at some treadwright tires right now for my XJ, but I've heard people say "these aren't legal in my state" and for the life of me I can't find where those laws are listed.

Are retread's legal in washington state? I have no clue ,but I found some sweet tires I want to try and I'd love it if anyone here had some direction for me

Thanks guys

Ive been looking on the internet, that's my first line of attack. I came here after I failed.

I'll try the DOT though, that's not a bad call. Kind of obvious, actually
Thank you

When ever I have a question about modifications to my jeeps legality I simply ask the local law enforcement. Obviously if they don't think it's illegal they won't right you a ticket for it.

this is a good option as well

I agree, thanks much

The retreads are legal. Only commercial vehicles can't have retreads on the steering or drive tires. Just stay away from the ultra grip ones.

Why is that

re treads are not legal in michigan on the front wheels

check with your local law enforcement

i dont c y they wouldn't be legal....what cop would notice or care?

Just because someone doesn't notice or care someone is breaking the law doesn't make it legal. Going 60 in a 55 is speeding whether the cop cares to write you a ticket or not. Just applying my 2 cents, you can come up with other areas where this would truly matter on your own.

call your police or dmv theyll be able to tell you. thats what i did for having the doors off my xj i called the police in ma and ri and they said it was legal as long as i had seatbelts and a rearview.

I did the same thing for here in NC. Except they told me I have to have a drive side view mirror as well.

I have learned in my old age that saving a couple bucks on retreads or used tires is a unsafe practice. (unless of course you are totally driving off road.) That said save your money or finance a new set of treads for your JEEP & enjoy a safe & smooth ride.

I haven't heard many bad things about treadwrights as far as retreads are concerned. And to save a few hundred dollars it's worth it especially with their reputation.
