They should do like me... get a GPS
Reasonably accurate speed reading... very very handy! Oh, and great for navigation when you're off God knows where

they won't pull you up unless you give them a very good reason to in the first place (obvious things like broken lights, bad driving...). then whether you get a thorough inspection is a matter of their current mood, how you act, how badly obvious your booty fab is, etc...
keep it looking legal on the outside and you'll be fine. we're not the target of the revenue raising rort.
N*A*M's right
my mate had both tail lights out driving at night, hense reason for being pulled over in the first place.
the mag was pettersons (us mag
) hense the DOT rating.
and the cop's down here are real keen on pulling over ricers rather than 4by's

my Zuk is in trying to get a defect notice removed and I can't get it done with the swampers on it as they are not speed rated. You would have to be pretty unlucky (or greg) to get pulled over just because of the Swampers, unless they are sticking out, but if you have them on when trying to get a RWC forget about it. Doesn't matter what size a tyre is if it doesn't have a speed rating it won't be road worthy. (Mind you I have had it done but the guy has since lost his RWC license, (bugger I could use him now)

I blame it on the colour - you'd think olive drab would make it invisible - but it seems to stick out like a sore thumb when on the road now

Cops don't like Matte colours, recon they are harder to see.

Why are swampers not speed rated.. were as simex's are, and they would have similar amounts of big chucnky rubbers bits hanging off them?
Got something to do with ply and steel belts?
Just interested =]
Cheers,
Dan.
PS: what more dangerous, someone in a Rice mobile trying to go as fast as they can, or someone in a 4X4 in the left hand land crawling home from the w/e... know where my decision lies, even if the 4X4 has *cough* minor *cough* panel damage

AFAIK its to do with speed rating not being important in the US, & Interco not giving a rats anus about anywhere else

Agreed...
from interco website wrote:The Super Swamper TSL/BOGGER is built primarily for the professional mud bogger. The tire is versatile... D.O.T. approved and street legal... easy to modify for the cut, open, and pro stock classes. A new design for a new generation of competition performance.
I gather the tyres are legal in the states, and that is their biggest market so they don't bother with meeting standards in other countries...
