simple question why do manufacturers not putting expiry date in tyres? Answer this and that solves all the arguments or is ur own type carrying expiry date?

There is expiry date on tires brother. I can take a picture of my car and show you now. Everyone who have actually bought brand new tires knows this.
Am not saying it's a road safety issue but tires do have expiry date.

maybe you misunderstand the meaning of the numbers written on the tyres

Tyres has expiration dates. Most nigerians don't know ....as a matter of fact, all those imported used tyres don expire. Some new tyres , also get expired in the sellers shop.

Na English dey worry u. Every item manufactured deteriorates with time, that's why there's definite time for which it's allowed to be used or consumed. For tyres in Nigeria, it's four years from the month of manufacturing

There are big difference in regulatory recommendations between consumable and non consumable items..... manufacturing dates are standard for record purposes, a tyre in the warehouse manufactured 10 years ago that have not been subjected to load and torques still retain 98% of its properties and good enough for usage. I have experience qualities and regulations in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, profile dept, wear and tear/deterioration are indices used to recommend changes.
New vehicles oil changes is for the first 24 months or 30000km or which come first, there after once every year, but a Nigerian mechanic will say every 3 months lol.

What you have on the tyre is the date of manufacturing, not the expiry date. It's 4 digit. The first-two numbers represents the week, while the last two digits represents the year the tyre was manufactured. Mine was manufactured on second February, 2021.

In some countries, they expect their tyres to last for 6 years. Here, because our roads are bad, and the quality of some of the tyres we buy is poor, the lifespan is pegged at 4 years.

What road safety officers do when checking is to look for the day the tyre was manufactured, and add 4 years to it.

Read more on car and drive.

Before any authority can arrest and prosecute anyone, there should be a law against it. The point is there is no law in Nigeria that puts that into perspective.

Technically, it means it is not a crime. Which in my opinion, is very correct.

Tyres only have manufacture date not expiry date.

Please where is the expiry date written there? So if drive ur car once in a while due to nature of ur work, within the year u mentioned it tyre will expire or u bought a new tyre and started using it after a year or more the tyre might have expired, tyres are not consumable goods that expires


Have you ever seen car tyres sheared on the road?... the traction part separated from the body of the tyre? Have you ever seen hardly used tyres cracked along the sides? Have you ever seen people wear brand new looking shoes that fall apart? Like shoes .... tyres become dry rot or weak over time..... most times the cause of blow outs and shearing. 6 to ten years max from date of manufacture is the expiry time for a tyre..... depending on a lot of factors. Disregard dates and you can be risking your life as well as others.

I believe the officials did that because they were not given bribe and everything else about the car is intact and that's the only thing they can think up.

With all due respect road safety has failed as long as we still have scrappy public transport buses with incomplete/no lights on the road carrying numbers of people, yet they they go after private vehicles looking for "I don't know what"

No be today nah. I did same some years ago and we all laughed it over. When I was confronted with the allegation I subtly asked them to allow me check theirs which their Oga granted and at the end of the day they also fell victim. After that we shifted the blame to "NIGERIA" as usual grin

So there are no expiry date stamped on tyres which is why you have yet to post a picture as someone earlier challenged you to, but resorted to these explanations which are tenable. Tires have shelf life within which they are in best condition, even if not in use. As such tyres cannot be stored or used indefinitely because it does not show serious wear.
