At one point in my career, I oversee my company's fleet management for Sarawak region and I am ashame to say I was not even aware of how to check a tyre's expiry date. Lol. So, I thought this is a piece of good article to learn from.
There is a 4-year expiry (from the year of manufacture). Thereafter, the tyre may burst whilst in use.
How to find out whether your tyre has expired?Check for this sign: ( *2603* )
There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial number. The first two numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year has it been manufactured.NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two numbers represent the year of make. Therefore, *2603* shows that the said tyre is manufactured in the 26th week of the year 2003.
Check all your tyres for safety purposes. Do not use expired tyres. They are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather)because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked.
