How can I see the age of my tyres?
All tyres that were made from 1980 onwards have a DOT number written on them (DOT = Department of transport). This number tells us the calendar week and the year in which the tyre was produced. In the 1980s and 1990s the DOT number consisted of three figures. The first two referred to the calendar week and the last one referred to the year. The 90s can also be recognised by the triangle after the last figure. From 2000 onwards the DOT number will have four figures.
