Hawai‘i Island police are reminding the public that certain vehicle modifications, such as oversized tires without proper coverage and excessively dark window tint, are not only illegal but may also result in costly fines. Police have recently received numerous complaints about lifted trucks with wide, uncovered tires and vehicles with window tints that exceed legal limits. A vehicle with oversized tires will not pass a safety inspection if the tire tread extends beyond the fender. In some cases, officers may deem the vehicle unsafe, which could result in the vehicle being towed. Vehicle owners are encouraged to ensure that any modifications do not compromise the safety, visibility, or roadworthiness of their vehicles.
