If an inspector notices a tire that will not pass inspection before bringing in a vehicle, what should they do?

The most appropriate course of action when an inspector notices a tire that will not pass inspection before bringing in a vehicle is to complete the inspection and formally record the failure due to the tire issue. This is crucial because inspection standards are in place to ensure that all vehicles on the road are safe and meet the required regulations. Ignoring the issue or passing the vehicle would compromise safety and violate inspection protocols. By documenting the failure, the inspector adheres to legal requirements and upholds the integrity of the inspection process. It ensures that the vehicle owner is made aware of the specific reasons for failure, allowing them to take necessary corrective actions.
