“the place I am moving to doesn’t allow tires to protrude beyond the fenders”

Please elaborate. As the freedom loving barrel chested American in me is asking for clarity.

That's a pretty common law. We have the same thing in British Columbia. Tires cannot "poke" out beyond the fenders of the vehicle.

A tire that's not covered by the fender will throw more debris into vehicles behind it, and more importantly, it can significantly contribute to a flip-over accident. If another vehicle's tire comes in contact with your (spinning and protruding) tire, your tire will lift the other vehicle, and often flip it. There are many videos of such accidents.

How close are you getting to another vehicle for this to happen? Yes - I’ve seen the videos of errant tires causing havoc on the interstate, but this isn’t turn 4 of Daytona and none of us are Cole Trickle.

I can’t see this being enforced where I am and given how feckless most legislatures are, it seems like nonsense frankly unless you’re driving a monster truck on the road. /endrant.

I dont know what its like where you're at, but it seems every other vehicle here in east Texas is a 63 ft lifted truck with negative 8570 offset wheels.

I've had multiple issues with rocks picked up and thrown at my Miata, even had one truck sit behind me at the light then started driving over me because "he did not see me".

Im all for freedom of personalization but some of this s*** is going too far. Don't even get me started on the below... every damn day.

It's not so much a question of getting close in daily driving, but rather the scale of the accident when it does happen. A flip over is always bad news.

The videos I've seen are not of loose tires, but rather vehicle A side-swiping vehicle B, and being launched into the air by vehicle B's protruding tire. Without that tire aspect, it would have been a relatively simple accident.

Enforcement is a matter of where you live. Definitely gets enforced in Vancouver, Victoria, etc. The standard method cops use is placing a pencil against the fender, and letting it fall. If it hits the tire as it falls, you're getting a ticket and being ordered a vehicle inspection.

Installed my Escape Gear seat covers. Had them on my other 200 series, highly recommend.

Bought the green that was posted here a couple months ago. Put a decent amount of work into it thus far. Going to sand blast and paint the undercarriage once its officially warm.

“the place I am moving to doesn’t allow tires to protrude beyond the fenders”

Please elaborate. As the freedom loving barrel chested American in me is asking for clarity.

Oregon has that law. When I lived there my girlfriend got pulled over in my Jeep. They used a nickel and let it slide down the fender. It hit the tire so I got a fix it ticket. Had to order a set of 6" fender flares. Looked ridiculous but kept me compliant.

Switzerland has very strict vehicle conformity rules, and one of their hang ups, apparently, is tires that stick out past the fender. I was going to try my luck with the old 305s that poked, but was advised by several folks who assured it’s a guaranteed inspection-fail and would delay my registration/road insurance until I change the wheels or tires or both

 

[siberian]

Having lived in Geneva Switzerland for 19 years I can attest that the rules enforced there are draconian. I used to swap my 2.2L Porsche engine into my VW Westphalia to go camping as the 1600cc was a snail but had to make sure everything was back to normal prior to the inspection. Since of course working in your parking space was totally forbidden I was lucky to have access to the CERN car club.

Windshield tint is my favorite modification.

Which one do you recommend?

I ask because I had this done on my daily driver with the 3M ceramic (70% I believe) and I can actually see the tint. It’s ever so slight but it it’s like extra floaters in my vision at times. I’ve held back doing this on the Cruiser because of this but long drives with that white hood have me rethinking this often.

I have XPEL 70% on two of my cars, can't tell really.
on the 87 911 I have 3M Crystalline, also with the most VLT and i can't tell.

Mine has 45% ceramic on it. You can definitely see it.

I have STEK NEX+ 85. To the naked eye it’s not noticeable. With my polarized prescription sunglasses I can tell it’s there if I tilt my head to a certain angle. But the thing is it’s so good I find myself opting to not wear my sunglasses.

+1 for XPEL. I think mine is 80/90% iirc. I can't remember which version I got, but whichever the highest grade of ceramic that blocks infrared almost at 100%. This is a game changer for heat reduction. The tint is minimal as to keep the G men away and make night driving a non contact sport.

Thanks for these updates. It sounds really stupid IMO. @Ratchey I'd bill the PD for paint correction for the scratches from their nickel. There's all sorts of ways to have this test either pass or fail using these arbitrary measures (coin, pencil, etc) on site. I'm not an ambulance chaser or bored attorney, and for now live in a free state so thankfully not my direct concern.

@Sverige I have no doubt the swiss have some sort of laser level issued to their traffic minders they'd likely break out to show you just how far your tires stuck out past vertical. All the Swiss precision history and such.
