Can a vehicle pass inspection with different tire tread patterns?

[DiDelaney]

Tire tread patterns must be consistent to pass vehicle inspection, as mismatched tires pose safety hazards. Additional details are as follows: 1. Tire wear: Different tires not only exhibit varying wear rates but also have different traction levels with the road surface. Moreover, annual inspections have not abolished the requirement for uniform tire tread patterns. The inspection mandates that all four tires must have matching tread patterns or at least consistent patterns on the same axle (e.g., front two matching and rear two matching, but left and right sides cannot differ). 2. Driving smoothness: Inconsistent tread patterns between left and right tires can affect the vehicle's driving stability, potentially causing uneven braking or fishtailing during emergency stops, which creates driving safety risks and will result in inspection failure. Additionally, the annual inspection requires that tires must not be excessively worn, as severely worn tires also present safety hazards.
