How to Identify the Year of a Tire?

[MadelynMarie]

To identify the year of a tire, you can check the letters and numbers on the tire sidewall. The last four digits following the DOT indicate the production date, with the first two digits representing the week of the year and the last two digits representing the year. The functions of a tire are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To prevent severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components; 3. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. Precautions for tire use include: 1. Pay attention to the degree of tread wear; 2. Avoid excessively high or low tire pressure; 3. Remove debris from the tread to prevent punctures that could lead to air leaks or blowouts; 4. Regularly rotate tires to prevent uneven wear.
