Should all four tires be consistent when picking up the car?
1 Answers
When picking up the car, the four tires may not necessarily be consistent, as the tires on a new car may not have been produced on the same date. However, the production year of all four tires on a new car should be the same. Precautions when purchasing tires: When purchasing tires, try to buy tires with newer production dates. The main material of tires is rubber, which naturally ages over time, becoming prone to cracking and significantly reducing heat dissipation. This leads to poor driving comfort, slower acceleration, and a high risk of losing control during braking due to insufficient grip. Checking the tire production date: All tires have a production date, which can be found on the sidewall of the tire. It usually appears in the form of DOT-LFLM-D79H0816. The production date is indicated by the last four digits of the DOT code. The first two digits represent the week of production in the year, and the last two digits represent the year of production. For example, 0816 means the tire was produced in the 8th week of 2016.
