or suspected have the tire

inspected by a tire professional.

Tires can be damaged during

off-road use, so inspection after

off-road use is also

recommended.

Age

WARNING

Tires degrade over time

depending on many factors

such as weather, storage

conditions, and conditions of use

(such as load, speed, inflation

pressure, etc.) the tires experience

throughout their lives.

In general, tires should be

replaced after six years regardless

of tread wear. However, heat

caused by hot climates or

frequent high loading conditions

can accelerate the aging process

and may require tires to be

replaced more frequently.

You should replace your spare tire

when you replace the road tires or

after six years due to aging even if

it has not been used.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification

Number

Both United States and Canada

Federal regulations require tire

manufacturers to place

standardized information on the

sidewall of all tires. This

information identifies and

describes the fundamental

characteristics of the tire and also

provides a United States DOT Tire

Identification Number for safety

standard certification and in case

of a recall.

This begins with the letters DOT

and indicates that the tire meets

all federal standards. The next

two numbers or letters are the

plant code designating where it

was manufactured, the next two

are the tire size code and the last

four numbers represent the week

and year the tire was built. For

example, the numbers 317 mean

the 31st week of 1997. After 2000

the numbers go to four digits. For

example, 2501 means the 25th

week of 2001. The numbers in

between are identification codes

used for traceability. This

information is used to contact

customers if a tire defect requires

a recall.
