How to Read the Date on Car Tires?
1 Answers
On one side of the tire, there is usually a DOT mark embossed. The last four digits of this mark provide information about the production date, consisting of four digits "AABB". The first two digits "AA" indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits "BB" indicate the year. Here is some information about tire dates: 1. Identification method: For example, a tire on a Passat car has the last four digits of the DOT mark as 0807, indicating it was produced in the 8th week of 2007, which means late February 2007. 2. Tire specifications: Specifications are the geometric parameters and physical performance data of the tire. There are three methods to represent tire specifications: A. Metric (m); B. Mixed metric and imperial; C. Imperial; Imperial tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both in inches.
