Where to Check the Production Date of Vehicle Tires?
1 Answers
Tire production dates can be found on the sidewall. The production date of a tire is usually represented by a four-digit number, where the first two digits indicate the week of production and the last two digits represent the year. Here are specific details about tires: 1. The shelf life of tires is generally 5 years. When replacing tires, the production date should not exceed 3 years. For example, "3512" means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2012. 2. Tires are an essential part of a vehicle, consisting of ring-shaped rubber products mounted on metal rims. If the production date is unclear, it is advisable not to purchase the tire to avoid buying overstocked or retreaded tires. 3. The 11-digit number and letters immediately following the "DOT" marking on the tire sidewall represent the tire's identification number or serial number. The last four digits of the serial number indicate the tire's production date.
