WARNING - Tire age
Tires  degrade  over  time,  even
when they  are  not being  used.
Regardless   of   the  remaining
tread,  it  is  recommended  that
tires generally be replaced after
six (6)  years of normal  service.
Heat caused  by hot climates  or
frequent   high   loading   condi-
tions  can accelerate  the  aging
process.  Failure  to  follow  this
Warning  can  result  in  sudden
tire failure,  which could lead  to
a  loss  of control  and  an  acci-
dent involving serious  injury or
death.
The number of layers or plies of  rub-
ber-coated fabric are  in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials  in  the  tire,  which include
steel,  nylon,  polyester,  and  others.
The letter  "R" means radial  ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or  bias ply construction; and  the
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
Any tires  that  are over  6 years  old,
based  on  the   manufacturing  date,
tire
strength
and
performance,
decline   with   age   naturally   (even
unused  spare  tires). Therefore,  the
tires (including the spare tire) should
be  replaced by  new  ones. You  can
find  the manufacturing  date  on  the
tire sidewall (possibly on the inside of
the   wheel),   displaying    the   DOT
Code. The DOT  Code is  a series of
numbers on a tire consisting of num-
bers and English letters.  The manu-
facturing  date is  designated  by  the
last  four  digits   (characters)  of  the
DOT code.
5.
Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number  is the greatest  amount
of air pressure  that should be  put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure.  Refer
to the  Tire and  Loading Information
label   for    recommended    inflation
pressure.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front  part  of the  DOT means  a
plant  code   number,  tire   size  and
tread pattern  and the last  four num-
bers indicate  week and  year  manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT  XXXX XXXX  1614  represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2014.
