Tire Expiry

[Hayward]

Most of us may not be aware but one of the most important part of our ride needs a second look. Check this out.
Vehicle tires have a 4-year validity period from their Date of Manufacture (DOM). Thereafter, the tire expires and may burst whilst in use. How to find out whether your tire has expired? Check for a stamp like this: (*2603*) There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial number. The first two numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year has it been manufactured.
NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two numbers represent the year of make. Therefore, *2603* shows that the said tire is manufactured in the 26th week of the year 2003. *2699* this shows that the tire is made in the 26th week of 1999.
Check all your tires for safety purposes. Do not use expired tires. They are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather) because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked

Yup, kaya when you buy brand new tires, make sure they're not selling you old stock, coz kahit bnew yan, if nearing 4-5 years na sya nakastock bubukul din agad yan.

Oh, di naaddress ni Hayward.... yung pinost nya is the way to read when it is manufactured, the tire rubber will "expire" 3-4 years after that.
