Resumen del asunto	El comité local compuesto por inspectores de MCSAP de todo Estados Unidos me ha solicitado que presente un punto de acción para su revisión. Actualmente, el Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC), punto 10, Neumáticos, b.(8)-(10), indica que los neumáticos que se encuentran en juegos de neumáticos dobles deben presentar ambos defectos enumerados en el punto 10, Neumáticos, b. Con este requisito, sería factible que un vehículo presentara numerosas infracciones relacionadas con los neumáticos, siempre y cuando estos no estén montados juntos como un juego de neumáticos dobles. Consideramos que se puede instituir un criterio similar al utilizado para los frenos para limitar este porcentaje a más del 20 % para neumáticos que no sean de dirección.
Justificación o necesidad	La necesidad de este cambio en el OOSC se observa en las carreteras de Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. Los fragmentos de neumáticos reventados representan un grave peligro tanto para el sector del transporte comercial como para los vehículos de pasajeros, que deben evitar chocar con estos restos.
Solicitud de acción	Se debe agregar texto al OOSC. Punto 10. Neumáticos, b., NOTA: Neumáticos distintos de los del eje de dirección con un defecto igual o superior al 20 por ciento. Véanse las condiciones enumeradas en el punto 10. Neumáticos, b. Este texto añadido no sustituirá el texto entre 10. Neumáticos, b.(7) y 10. Neumáticos, b.(8).
Medidas adoptadas por el comité	Information that had been received back from the TMC Tire and Wheel Study Group indicated that no tire company has any data relating to the amount of traction that is lost when different percentages of tires' treads wear down, however, all agreed that if 20% of the dual tires on a vehicle exhibited any of the three conditions, the vehicle would pose an imminent hazard to road safety. Although the study group indicated that they would support such a change, discussion in committee revolved around issues such as whether the steering axle tires would be included in this calculation based on the fact that they are already OOS; why the 20%, why not 40%. Without any study information or data related to crashes as a result of tires or data related to the effect of a percentage of bad tires, it was difficult for the committee to determine what, if any, would be an accurate percentage. Industry representatives were concerned that this would lead to several tires being changed out on the roadside which is not their choice of maintenance locations. Other issues were raised in regard to the condition being an imminent hazard and whether we were trying to impose punitive measures into the out of service criteria. It was discussed that the main reason for this condition to exist roadside is when a motor carrier is aware of the existing criteria and is trying to ?play games? to match a good tire with a bad tire all around the vehicle in order to operate above the OOS condition. This was discussed and addressed that for those types of carriers, the violation still exists on each of the tires and charges can be laid along with requirements to have the tires repaired and repair verification sent to the inspecting officer. Although several committee members could see the rationale behind the suggestion, without data to support the change and specifically the percentage of tires to be used, it was difficult to arbitrarily come up with a number and not consider the amendment as an enforcement action as opposed to removing an imminent hazard from the roadway.
