Relating generally to the modification of vehicle tires.
HB 2583 amends West Virginia vehicle width regulations to address modifications involving protruding tires. It requires rigid, fixed extensions covering tires that extend beyond a vehicle's original factory dimensions (commonly called "Bro Trucks" or modified SUVs), and mandates additional Federal Department of Transportation lighting if the total width exceeds 102 inches. The bill directly affects owners of vehicles with tire modifications that cause width violations, particularly those using extended tire setups. Key provisions set a 96-inch width limit for most vehicles (with 102-inch exceptions for specific vehicles like motor homes), while enforcing safety measures for non-compliant modifications. The bill focuses on standardizing vehicle dimensions for highway safety, not on tire types or manufacturing.
