I just came across a post shared on Facebook by a certain 'Bimal Nandana' which contains everything you need to know about tyres, having this information is very handy especially when buying a new tyre.

Tyres expire in 6 years from the date of manufacture, although I have read on several sites that it's 4 years in Nigeria. Whichever the case may be, you can calculate the expiry date based on the date of manufacture of the tyre.

ehehe, Nothing last for ever, however I do not see how you can use one tyre for up to 4 years without changing them.There is a thread gauge line in every tyre, when you go below that then you need change. depends on usage that can be just one year.

toh

As if Nigerians care

with our bad roads in Nigeria,we don't suppose to use our tyres more than 2 years before changing it . Some crazy drivers can use their Tyre for 2 extra years..

expiry date is not how far but it's about time of purchase.

Very informative. It's like lalasticlala's brain is beginning to reset gradually. These are the kind of news we need on FP.

2018!.....naaaah.....You can only get 2016 tyres @ present(and maybe 16th week of 2016).... You checked the wrong number.....If truely your tyre bears 2018, it simply means it could be a seriously old tyre.....
***them boiz don change the date****

What a wonderful breakfast post. I am happy we are not being served poo from Tonto Duke, Tiwa Savage, Teebliz, Senior shay, omowunmi et al.

God bless the op and the Mod that pushed this to front page. Now I know what all these markings on my tyre means.

Just came out from a poo thread with tears, didn't know I was missing brilliant topics on the frontpage:

Barca001:
I have perused many threads on this forum about how people met and married their spouses on IG and twitter why is nairaland let out? I ask myself.

Ladies don't get it twisted there are many Educated, Intelligent and Handsome men on nairaland.
Men out there if you appreciate the way you are created share your pictures.

Let me start by casting the first stone.


C'est moi (This is me)

Tyres have no expiry dates. Why do you think a manufacturer wouldn't put such a date on a product? However this companies give u a warranty of 4-6 yrs depending on d product. There a number of factors which leads to tyres lossing strength and this factos are mostly known to take effects after at least 4yrs.
For berra knowledge i advice u browse a producing company site like Brgdgestone.
But as mkt must move na, we need to support tyre sellers dem ministry so e fit reach permanent site.

Bros the expiry date is calculated from the tyre's date of manufacture, and not time of purchase. Pls don't misinform the public.......

You won't kill me

tires might require change after for years like Ya'll have heard, but the truth is that tires needs to be changed depending on the usage... The gospel truth is that if it's need change u'll know but it's the let's manage its like that stinginess of Nigerians that won't let us Change it... I am spells Pete n I just want to make common sense

Also to add, our brothers who sell expired tyres change these information sometimes. These info are usually in raised prints and not stamped, and the font should be the same across the writings
