Tyre age
NOTE:
- Tyres should not be older than 6 years! Not even the emergency spare wheel!.
The age of the tyre can be determined from the manufacturer's code, which is shown behind the DOT code on the tyre sidewall! The date of manufacture (the last four digits) can be found at the end of the code!
