How to Read the Date on a Tire?
1 Answers
Tire production batch numbers are located on the outer edge of the tire. They consist of a set of numbers and letters indicating the manufacturing year, month, and quantity. For example, 3907 represents the 39th week of 2007, meaning the tire was produced in late September 2007. More information about tires is as follows: 1. Approaching the Expiry Date: Every tire has a production date, and it's important to be aware of your tire's service life and mileage. Beyond this period or mileage, tire wear becomes more severe, and the tire may no longer perform adequately. 2. Severe Tread Wear: Checking the tire tread is one of the most intuitive ways to assess tire condition. As friction time increases, the depth of the tread decreases significantly due to wear. 3. Tire Bubbles: Bubbles on tires are mostly caused by inconsistent tire strength. If you notice such issues, avoid driving and take the tire to a repair shop or 4S store immediately. At this point, the tire is like a ticking time bomb, with an unpredictable risk of bursting. 4. Abnormal Tire Pressure: Many traffic accidents are caused by improper tire pressure. High tire pressure makes braking harder to control, while low tire pressure reduces vehicle power. 5. Tire Cuts: While driving, you might accidentally scrape against a curb. Always find a safe place to stop and inspect the tire for any cuts. If the damage is severe, replace the tire immediately to avoid safety hazards.
