What is the date for tire code 4621?
1 Answers
Tire code 4621 represents the production date of the tire, where 46 stands for the 46th week of the year, and 21 indicates the year 2021. Regarding tire parameters, they can be identified from the markings on the sidewall of the tire. Currently, almost all passenger car tires use radial tires. According to the identification method of radial passenger car tire specifications, the parameters are labeled in the order of "tire width, aspect ratio, compatible rim diameter, load index, and speed rating." If a tire's specification is 185/60R15-84H, its parameters are as follows: 185 indicates the tire width is 185mm; 60 represents the aspect ratio, meaning the section height is 60% of the width; R indicates that the tire is a radial tire, with the inner layer manufactured using the radial method; 15 is the rim diameter in inches; 84 is the load index, indicating a maximum load capacity of 500 kg, with four tires totaling 500×4=2000 kg; H refers to the speed rating of 210 km/h. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of a tire is about 4-5 years. Even if the tire has been driven less, it still needs to be replaced once it exceeds its shelf life. When purchasing, pay attention to the production date and try not to buy tires that have been stored for more than 3 years. Since tires are rubber products, they will age over time, and their performance will deteriorate. If cracks appear, there is a higher risk of tire blowouts, which can affect driving safety.
