Age of tyres
Tyres should never be more than six (6) years old as the material
becomes brittle with age and when the vehicle is not used for a
longer period of time. The four-digit DOT number on the side of
the tyre (it may be necessary to check the inner side) indicates
the date it was manufactured. The first two digits refer to the
week, the last two digits to the year of manufacture.
Example:
DOT 2317 means week 23 in the year of manufacture (here:
2017).
