9.00-13 Tyres

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Jim

I am wondering what the designation DOT approved for "off road" will mean or what restrcition it will imply...???

for example some tires are marked for...."Agricultural use only" or "max. speed of 35 kph".......

does it mean that you cannot drive on a city street at legal limits...??

......"off road" use only might explain the ease of obtaining approval from DOT.......

That being said......... how come we see farm equipment being driven on paved roads.... at a good speed....

......legally in Ontario such farm vehicles are not licensed, not subject to road safety inspection/certification and the driver does not need a driver's license........ but my farm insurance does provide me with $1 million liability insurance.......

.. in fact in my area the COOP is driving a modified International truck crop sprayer with extra large terra grip threads at a darn good clip 70+kph and I have a hard time beleiving the special tires are certified for highway use...

We do live in an interesting time.....??

Would be nice to see a staff car...circa 1940...painted sand color.... and sporting special rims with brand new 9:00x13 chevron tires......hihihi
