How to check for car tyres expiry date.

[Kwetu Ngoreme]

Tyres have expiry date.
To start with, vehicle tyre have a 4-year validity period from their Date of Manufacture (DOM).
Thereafter, the tyre expires and may burst whilst in use.


How to find out whether your tyre has expired?
First, check for a stamp like this: (*0504*).
There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial number (Some tires don't have asterisk).
The First two digits are the week so 0504 is fifth week in 2004. Therefore, *0504*
shows that the said tyre is manufactured in the 5th week of the year 2004
Check all your tires for safety purposes. Do not use expired tires. They are likely to burst,
especially when running in hot weather because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked


e.g

The above photo show that tyre is manufactured in the 9th week of the year 2007

Hizo tarakimu zina wakilisha wiki na mwaka au mwezi na mwaka?

Kwa mfano 0504,ni mwezi wa tano mwaka 2004 au ni wiki ya tano mwaka 2004.
