Tire Inspection Records Still Required for Car Owners
There is a misunderstanding about tire inspection record requirements after the periodic inspection was removed. All passenger car owners must keep tire inspection records and show them when filing applications for gasoline or tires. An Official Tire Inspection Station inspection is only needed when applying for replacements, on the R-1 form with tire serial numbers. The board must verify that serial numbers on the inspection record match those on the application.
