The Average Lifetime Of A Tire Is 4 Years by eluquenson(m): 8:16am On Nov 06, 2013 |
Did you know the average lifetime of a tire was 4 years? Every 6months, a wheel alignment is recommended. At 9 months, rotate your tires by swapping the front tires to the back. To avoid any drama on the road, get into the habit of doing the "morning parade" around your vehicle and inspect your tires. NOTE: The best way to dispose of a tire is to cut it into pieces and destroy it if you can. Source: The Nigerian Gazette 6 Likes

Informative. Not everyone knows that a car deserves attention just like humans do. They regular checkup to remain at optimum condition. I learnt that when I got my car. The better I treated it, the better it perfoms and never disappoints me 3 Likes |

who get ear make him hear. I think they need to know that the lifespan is the same thing as the expiry date. In other words, that brand new tire you just got might be dead already.. 1 Like |

Do you know that some of the tyres especially second hand ones are usually rethreaded and sold as new ones. Please be careful while buying one and be sure this has not been the case. This is neatly done that it takes a second eye to notice it. NAIJA can do anything for money. 2 Likes |

On any tyre there is a set of four digits eg 3412 what this means is that the tyre was manufactured in the 34th week of 2012. This is a universal way to check a tyre's age. In any case please DO NOT BUY ANY TYRE THAT EXCEEDS 4 YEARS FROM YEARS OF MANUFACTURE!! Even if it's brand new and unused. Such tyres have passed their shelf life. 7 Likes |

How do we detect the date a tyre is manufacture or are you talking of from the date of purchase? |

eluquenson: Did you know the average lifetime of a tire was 4 years? Every 6months, a wheel alignment is recommended. At 9 months, rotate your tires by swapping the front tires to the back. Stop posting wrong information. Is this information based on manufacturer date or based on when u bought it. In US and canada. All tires are required DOT number which shows the week and year of manufacture e.g ( 35-12). It is advisable not to buy or use tires that are more than 6 years from the date of manufacture. This increases the risk of tire failure and disintegration. About alignment , Where did you pull the 6 months crap from? . There is no way you can cut a steel belted tire into pieces. Here in canada, no one cuts their tires. You dispose of it properly. Try cutting a run flat tire. How did this make front page? The mods should do a better job and stop spreading misinformation. 2 Likes |
