tyre dating
No, Im not asking tyres out on dates...
On today's tyres.. among other sidewall markings you'll see a date code .. typically 4 numbers like for example: [1307] this number = the tyre was manufactured during the 13th week of 2007 . I checked my MRF 900 - 13's, and they are dated 2002 . I also have a few OLYMPIC 900-13's dated the year 2000 . Recently, there has been a few cases of tyre retailers selling tyres which are way past the 'use by' date ... Apparently, more than 6 years old , is considered to be a non-roadworthy tyre here - they reckon the compound dries out .. leaving it prone to disintegrating under high speed. Mike
