Is a tire manufactured 8 months ago considered a stock tire?
1 Answers
Tires manufactured 8 months ago are not considered stock tires. Tire Introduction: Although tires are rubber products with a certain 'shelf life,' they do not have an expiration date like food products. This is because the lifespan of a tire is highly dependent on its usage conditions. Stock Tire Introduction: Tires that have been in storage for over a year are considered stock tires, and those manufactured three years ago are considered expired tires. There is a set of numbers on the sidewall of the tire; the last four digits of this set represent the manufacturing date. The first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. By calculating these numbers, you can determine whether a tire is a stock tire.
