You can determine the chronological age of any tyre by examining its sidewall. The date is identified by the characters following the symbol DOT, where the last four numbers identify the date of manufacture to the nearest week. The first two of these four numbers identify the week of the manufacture, ranging between “01” to “53”, and the last two numbers indicate the year. For example, if the tyre information is displayed as “DOT XXXXXXX3421” then the tyre is manufactured in the 34 th week of 2021.
Yes, all international brands including Apollo Tyres, Michelin, Bridgestone, Ceat, etc. use the same combination of numbers to determine tyre MFD.
As you know, all products come with an expiry date, so do car tyres. Car tyre expiry date is usually set at six years from the manufacture date. So, if your car tyres were manufactured in the 34 th week of 2021, their expected life cycle will end by 34 th week of 2027. Most car makers advise tyre replacement after six years regardless of how many kilometers you have driven.
Vehicle tyres fall within the wear and tear category parts. They are made using several layers of chemical compounds, which means the quality starts deteriorating as the compounds age. Infrequent use or poor storage conditions can accelerate the tyre ageing process within six months of manufacture. Hence it is important that you buy latest manufactured tyres to get maximum performance and value out of your purchase. Moreover, since car tyres are a significant investment, it makes economic sense to buy tyres with latest manufacturing date.
