How to Check the Production Date of Continental Tires?

[LaJuniper]

The production date of a tire is usually represented by a four-digit number. The first two digits indicate the week of production, and the last two digits represent the year. For example, "3512" means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2012. Additional information: 1. The production date of Continental tires can be found on the sidewall. When replacing tires, it is essential to pay attention to the production date marked on the tire. 2. The shelf life of tires is generally 5 years. When replacing tires, the production date should not exceed 3 years (the closer the production date, the better, as this means a longer usable period within the shelf life). However, tires do not indicate the expiration date, only the production date. 3. If the production date is unclear, it is advisable not to purchase the tire to avoid buying old stock or refurbished tires. It is also recommended to choose authorized repair shops or installation points designated by the tire manufacturer for replacement.
