How long is the production date of a tire considered within the normal range?
1 Answers
Tires produced within about half a year are considered normal. Under normal conditions, it takes about six months for the rubber molecules in tires to gradually stabilize, making them more elastic and wear-resistant. Here is some additional information: 1. Precautions: Tires are rubber products, and even if they are not used for a long time, they will age. The general shelf life of unused tires is three years. If the tires have been in storage for more than three years, it is advisable not to purchase them. Tires installed on a vehicle can be used for four years, so it is recommended to replace them every four years. 2. Tire production date: The production date of a tire can be identified by the markings on the tire sidewall, usually in the form of DOTXXXXX3115. The last four digits of the DOT code represent the production date of the tire. The first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits indicate the year.
