How to Read Tire Production Codes to Avoid Scams

Tires have an expiration date. The 4-digit code (e.g., 1223) means the 12th week of 2023. Tires stored for over 5 years, even if looking new, have hardened rubber and are dangerous for sudden braking.

Check air pressure every 2 weeks and rotate tires every 10,000 km for even wear.
