Navajo transportation out of denver , co is allowing bad steer tires on their trucks. Ask at the ta in troutsdale, or , stop some navajo truck sometime. A driver had a steer tire that was looking bad on one side of the tire and was unsafe according to the repair shop but navajo said just turn it around put it other side so you can't see the bad part and be done with it. They have been doing this for awhile now. They need to be looked into for allowing bad steer tires on their trucks. *Nm
