What does it mean if a tire has no production date?
1 Answers
If there is no production date on the sidewall of the tire, it may be installed backwards or the production date may have been worn off. Here is some relevant information about tire production: Tire Installation: When a tire is mounted on the rim, the outer side should face outward. The outer side of the tire usually has "outside" marked on it, so make sure the side labeled "outside" faces outward during installation. Precautions: If a new tire you are purchasing does not have a production date, you should definitely not buy it. Such tires are often intentionally altered by sellers to conceal the production date by grinding off the date markings. The production date of a tire is usually marked on the sidewall, typically as a four-digit number.
