is it a State or Fed. law that requires SAFE tires on a used vehicle sold by a dealer?

Answer 1

Some states have inspection laws, some do not. For example, in Maryland, a dealer is required to have the car inspected, prior to sale to a Maryland resident. MD inspection is tough, and a car with bad tires will not pass.

If the dealer is selling the car to an out of state resident, there is no inspection requirement.

In some states there is no inspection at all. In those states the dealer can sell the car without doors, never mind safe tires! If you are buying a car, it is very easy to look at the tires and make sure that they are in good condition.

If you buy a car "as-is" in a non inspection state, or in a state where you do not reside, then there is no requirement for tires

Answer 2

No they don't look. If the tires are so undesirable that they are volatile in accordance to the regulation they could replace them (think ofyou've got a blow out going living house). If the windshield wipers streak and do not sparkling the windshield reliable, they could replace them. If the tires and windshield wipers are danger-free in accordance to state regulation their isn't some thing you may do. If both or is volatile through state regulation i'd call for having them replaced (tell them to change them and in the journey that they don't purchase a motor vehicle someplace else). besides do not enable that stop you from procuring the motor vehicle in case you want it in the different case. on the plus aspect when you're tire choosy you may get tires you want for the motor vehicle extremely of being stuck with those the broker positioned on and when you're windshield wiper choosy you may positioned the windshield wipers you want on the motor vehicle extremely of being stuck with those the broker put in.
