Most all states have some type of requirements for a vehicles tires,some are more lax than others.Some States require vehicles to have a minimum tread height,meaning you cant drive on bald tires..In the majority of states it is not something a police officer will look for unless of course bald tires were the cause of an accident...(then it can be a fine and ticket).If you are found to have bald tires the majority of time a police officer will issue a repair warning giving you 30 days to get new tires,you must get the new tires and return to the police station/barracks and have an officer sign off on the repair order..You have to check with your local police dept for the laws in your area...
