How to Identify the Production Date from a Tire?

[SanNathan]

Tire production dates can be found on the sidewall of the tire. There is a four-digit number in an elongated oval shape at the end of the DOT code. The first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits indicate the year. For tires produced after the year 2000, the last four digits of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) represent the production date. Here is some additional information about tires: 1. Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products degrade over time with use, so tires need to be replaced periodically. 2. After replacing tires, it is essential to perform a wheel balance test on each wheel to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving. 3. The typical lifespan of a tire is about 2-3 years or 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Chinese regulations require tire replacement when the tread wears down to 1.6mm.
