How to Check the Tire Manufacturing Date?

[LeMaya]

Methods to check the tire manufacturing date: 1. The manufacturing date of the tire can be found on the outer sidewall of the tire, where there is a set of four-digit numbers in an elongated oval shape at the end of the letters DOT; 2. The first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. For example, 1713 indicates that the tire was manufactured in the 17th week of 2013; 3. If you cannot find these corresponding marks on the tire, it means the tire is installed backward. For instance, a mark like 3907 represents the manufacturing date as the 39th week of 2007. Check whether the tire's manufacturing date matches the car's purchase date. If the dates differ significantly, it may indicate an issue. If you are buying a car, also pay attention to the tire's manufacturing date mark.
