BILL NUMBER: S393
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to tire safety
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This proposal adds a new subdivision (d) to paragraph 35 of section
375 of the vehicle and traffic law.
JUSTIFICATION :
This legislation would prohibit a tire repair from being made to a
tire that would not pass the New York State motor vehicle inspection.
Improper tire repairs pose a safety risk to motorists. Repairing a
tire that would not pass a New York State motor vehicle inspection
would greatly increase the risk of tire failure. Improperly repaired
tires can fail while in service, which may result in a vehicle crash
and cause serious personal injury or death.
A tire will fail a New York State motor vehicle inspection if the
tread is worn to less than 2/32 of an inch, the tire has a fabric
break or a cut in excess of one inch in any direction and is deep
enough to reach the body cords, the tire has visible bumps, bulges or
knots, the tire has any portion of the ply or cord structure exposed
or the tire is marked for specific non-highway uses. In any case, a
