Can tires manufactured 2 months ago be used?
1 Answers
Tires manufactured 2 months ago can be used. Here are the relevant details: 1. The newer the tire, the better: New tires purchased should ideally be as fresh as possible, preferably not older than 1 year. Tires older than 1 year are considered stock tires, and it is not advisable to purchase tires manufactured more than 3 years ago. This is because tires typically take several months to reach retailers from the factory, and the primary material of tires is rubber. Rubber has the characteristic of changing over time, which mainly manifests as: the longer the time, the more prone it is to aging. Generally, manufacturers provide a warranty period of 3-5 years for tires. 2. Methods to identify retreaded tires: (1) Check the production date of the tire. Retreaded tires first grind off the original production date and then reprint a new one, so the edges of the production date on retreaded tires may have gaps, be uneven, or show signs of pasting. (2) Observe the joint parts of the tread and sidewall. The joint parts on retreaded tires are not as smooth as those on new tires. (3) Look at the color of the tire. Retreaded tires tend to have a duller color and luster, while new tires exhibit a blue sheen on the tread and a more natural color.
