RE: New Tire Report (and some questions)

[Robert Myers <rmyers@wvit.wvnet.edu>]

So how were the cop's tires?  Nearly bald?  

At what tread depth is the cop's speedo calibrated?  Full tread?  Bald?  In
between?  

How much would well worn tires effect this calibration?  

Did he have snow tires on instead of his regular summer tires for which the
speedo was calibrated?  

Were those snow tires exactly the same diameter as his regular tires?

Were they properly inflated?
