Tire, as an indispensable part of our driving process, its quality is closely related to our safety. And when buying tires, in addition to paying attention to the brand and performance, we also need to know their production date to ensure their quality and safety performance. So, how do you check the production date of your tires?
First of all, we need to be clear: the factory date of the tire is marked on the outside of the tire, and there is no need to turn the tire over. Usually, there is a set of numbers on the outer wall of the tire, and this set of numbers is the date of manufacture of the tire. This set of numbers usually consists of four digits, which we call the "AABB" format. The first two "aa" indicate the week of the year, while the last two "bb" indicate the year of production. For example, "1204" means that this tire was produced in the 12th week of 2004.
So, how do you interpret this set of numbers?First, we want to find the dot letter on the side of the tire and look at the number behind it. In this set of numbers, the last four digits of the serial number are the date the tire was manufactured. For example, if the serial number is 12345678901234567890, then its production date is 1234, which is the 34th week of 2012.
In addition to this, there are some other ways to view it. For example, on the outer wall of a tire there is a long four-digit number in the shape of an oval, the first two digits indicate the month of production, and the last two digits are the year of production. Or there is a set of numbers on one side of the tire, and the last four digits of this set of numbers represent the date of manufacture.
In conclusion, it is important to check the production date of the tire. Knowing the date a tyre was manufactured can help us determine if it has expired or if it needs to be replaced. When buying tires, we should also pay attention to their production date to ensure that we are buying the freshest and highest quality tires. At the same time, we also need to understand the identification and specifications of the tires in order to use and maintain them correctly.
