Where is the production date of new car tires?
1 Answers
The production date of new car tires is located on the outer side of the tire. There is a set of numbers on the sidewall of the tire, and the last four digits of this set of numbers provide information about the production date. These four digits are composed as follows: the first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits indicate the year. For example, 0807 means the tire was produced in the 8th week of 2007, which is around the end of February 2007. Tires made of rubber have a limited lifespan. If stored for too long, it may affect their performance at best, or at worst, lead to tire blowouts that endanger lives. When selecting tires, in addition to checking the production date, you should also look for anti-counterfeiting labels. Genuine new tires will have anti-counterfeiting labels, usually affixed to the tire's trademark.
