Car, Bike Tires Have Expiry Dates: How to Check Before It's Too Late!
•
Unlike food, vehicle tires also have a specific lifespan, and using expired tires can be extremely dangerous, especially at high speeds.
•
The DOT code on tires reveals the manufacturing date; the last four digits indicate the week and year (e.g., 1026 means 10th week of 2026).
•

•
Regular maintenance like rotation, alignment, and checking air pressure extends tire life, and always buy new tires from reputable companies.
