How Long After Production Are Tires Considered Inventory Tires?
1 Answers
Tires that have been produced for more than 3 years are considered inventory tires. Here are the reasons: 1. The domestic trade industry standard "Technical Specifications for Tire Claims" stipulates that the claim period (including unused and normally used tires) is calculated from the production date of the tire, with a 3-year period being the effective claim duration. The domestic trade industry standard "Specifications for Tire Marketing Management" clearly states that tire distribution companies should not distribute tires that cannot be claimed. 2. Due to the aging of rubber products like tires, their physical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and wear resistance undergo significant changes. Industry standards are linked to the general lifespan limits of tires. Therefore, inventory tires older than 3 years are not within the normal sales range of tires.
