Unlike many states, Maryland has laws that regulate regrooved tires. Under § 22-405.1, an individual may not sell a regrooved tire or operate a vehicle with regrooved tires unless it “is specifically designed to be regrooved” and complies with the Department of Transportation standards. It also requires tires to display a label or marking indicating it was regrooved on its shoulder sidewall. Individuals who violate these regulations are subject to a prison sentence of six months or less, a fine of $500 or less, or both.
