Where to Check the Production Date of Car Tires?
1 Answers
Tires have a molded DOT mark on them, followed by an 11-digit alphanumeric code which serves as the tire's identification or serial number. The last four digits of this serial number indicate the production date of the tire. This four-digit code follows the format "AABB". The first two digits "AA" represent the week of the year, while the last two digits "BB" indicate the year. Below is an introduction to tire-related information: 1. Tire production date code format: The first two digits denote the production week, and the last two digits represent the production year. For example, 1204 means the tire was produced in the 12th week of 2004. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, designed to roll on the ground. They are typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. 2. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions. During operation, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperature effects. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. Additionally, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant demand for rubber in tire manufacturing.
