Tyres



Well.. here is some information which i thinks is good to share for my blogs' readers.

There is a 4-year expiry (from the year of manufacture).Thereafter, the tyre may burst whilst in useHow to find out whether your tyre has expired?Check for this sign: ( *2603* )There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of thisserial number.The first two numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year hasit been manufactured.NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two numbers represent theyear of make.Therefore, *2603* shows that the said tyre is manufactured inthe 26th week of the year 2003.*2699* This shows that the tyre is made in the 26th week of1999.Check all your tyres for safety purposes. Do not use expired tyres.
They are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather)because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked.
