hawk tires and nys inspection

here is the text explaining the nys pass requirement for motorcycle tires.

A tire may not be used if there is:
l a visible break, that is, a cut in excess of one inch which is deep enough to reach body cords;
l any bump, bulge, ply or cord exposure;
l any portion of tread design that is completely worn, and which is of sufficient size to affect the
traction or stopping ability of the tire;
l tread depth (when measured with a tire gauge) of less than 2/32 of an inch;
l labeling such as “not for highway use”, “for racing purposes only

There is no text stating anything about the use purpose on ghe hawks tires, im gonna take it as is and see if it will pass. there is certianly nothing else on the list that the hawk cant pass.

the tire dont wear like any motocross tire ive used in the past. road use will destroy a set motocross tires in a hundred miles or so, hawk tires show no wear after 107 miles.

if it fails ill buy new tires but i would love to wear these down a bit before tossing or giving them away.
