So he has 265-70-17 tires? that is 10.5" width or so, times 500 lbs per inch, 10500 per axel.....is he over 10500 lbs on the rear axel? if not, and he has the correct paid for tonnege on his license.....HE's LEGAL!!!!!!!
Of course if he is truly unsafe, the local LEO that pulls him over will make darn sure he is red tagged on the side of the road.....that will probably not be happening any time soon!
So leave it alone!

Marty how can he be "LEGAL" if he is over his tire capacity of just under 6,400# ???
Also shouldn't everyone know what their weights are??? I bet you do on every rig you one. This guy had no clue what he weighed.
The 17's are the deciding factor on this one. I even suggested if he was over his rear that a set of 18 or 20's may cure that problem.
