*ROADMAR MOTORS. COMMENT ON THE TRENDING ARTICLE ABOUT EXPIRY DATE OF TYRES BY UNKNOWN AUTHOR *

Firstly, as Tyre Club we would like to thank the author for spending time writing that article which is very noble and informative. Due to overwhelming inquiries from our customers about the article, below are our comments regarding the AGE OF TYRES and what is internationally recommended by car and tyre manufacturers.

Your tyre’s sidewall contains all the information you need about the tyre i.e. DATE OF MANUFACTURE, MAX SAFE SPEED, MAX LOAD, MAX PRESSURE, QUALITY MARKS to prove that the tyre has been tested and certified to meet various international quality standards.

All tyres manufactured after the year 2000 now have 4 numbers indicating the Month and Year of manufacture as indicated below.

In America, safety advocates now want tyre manufacturers to add an expiry date of 6 years on every tyre. Reason being, some research has shown that after 6 years the compounds in a tyre begin to deteriorate and the tyre will be less flexible and more prone to cracking and heat failure. The rubber loses its suppleness through the drying out of moisture and oils. Therefore, tire failures dramatically increase. The tyre industry has not yet set up its own estimate, partly because it does not want to give consumers the idea that their tyres are guaranteed to last that long.

Most car manufacturer recommend your tyres not to exceed an age limit of 6 years eg Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, Mazda, Ford Motor Company etc. On the other hand, almost all tyre manufacturers including Dunlop, Michelin and Continental recommend scrapping tyres that are more than 10 years-old even if they appear to be usable from their external appearance. PROVIDED YOU GET ANNUAL TYRE INSPECTIONS AFTER THE 5TH YEAR.

As recommended by the author of the trending article, make is your business to inspect the age of the tyres you are buying. Tyres more than 5 years from the date of manufacture are a BIG NO. Howev
