What Do You Need to Know About the Age of Your Tyres?
The chronological age of any tyre can be read from the sidewall by examining the characters following the DOT symbol.
Every road tyre carries a DOT code moulded into its sidewall. The final four digits identify the week and year of manufacture — for example, '2624' indicates the 26th week of 2024.
Rubber compounds evolve over time even when unused, which is why proper warehousing and stock rotation are essential for distributors. First-in, first-out inventory management protects your customers and your brand.
Store tyres away from direct sunlight, ozone sources and extreme temperatures. Correct storage preserves compound performance from our factory floor all the way to the rider.
As a manufacturer, JABIL supports partners with clear date-code traceability and guidance so that every tyre reaches the road in peak condition.
