How to Read Car Tire Information?

[VanEliana]

You can understand by checking the letters and numbers on the sidewall of the tire. The last four digits indicate the production date of the tire. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Production Date: For all tires produced after 2000, the last four digits of the tire identification number represent the production date. Among these four digits, the last two digits indicate the production year of the tire. For example, "xx18" means the tire was produced in 2018, while the first two digits represent the production week. For instance, "3518" indicates the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2018. 2. Shelf Life: Generally, car tires have a shelf life of three years. Since tires are mainly made of rubber, and rubber has a shelf life of three years, tires should be replaced every three years. Therefore, when purchasing tires, always choose those with the most recent production date. However, some unscrupulous sellers may alter the dates to sell older tires.
