I guess you have never heard of picking your battles..



If you were in Manitoba you would get at ticket and a notice saying that you have to go for re-inspection in 2 weeks at which time if your tires still stuck out past the fenders they would void your insurance.

Count yourself lucky.

I feel pretty luck to live in OK, where the laws are a lot less strict and the cops would never stop someone for stupid stuff.

We had both stopped and he asked me the usual, do you know why i pulled you over? I hadnt the slightest idea why... He said my tires were too far out from my fender, and im not gunna lie theyre maybe poked 2-3 inches ever since i got my new rims, but really...? Its not that much:/ regardless he was going to let me go... Until he said get wider fenders for your truck. I was like excuse me? And he repeated himself, and i corrected him saying that this, in fact, is a jeep. Neat less to say teh arguing commenced for 5 minutes or so, and ended up in me getting a $87 ticket due to misconduct... Lol

gas to philly = $70
ticket = $87
knowing you drive a jeep = priceless
lol fight the power!!!!!

I do believe here in NC you can get a ticket if your tires DONT stick out past the fenders, they're under 33" tall, or your jeeps too clean

I would have asked the officer, "isnt there something more you could be doing to uphold the law like busting a meth lab, or shooting a bank robber?!?!" Misconduct for correcting an imbecile with a badge shouldnt be considered a crime!!
