WARNING - Tire age
Any tires  that  are over  6 years  old,
based  on  the   manufacturing  date,
(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  num-
bers on a  tire consisting of numbers
and English letters.  The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
Tires  degrade  over  time,  even
when they are not being used.
The number of layers or plies of  rub-
ber-coated   fabric  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.
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.
5.
Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
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.
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  1615  represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2015.
