Did You Know? Code on Vehicle Tires
Tires are one of the main components on the legs of a motor vehicle. Its function is not only as a vehicle accelerator but has other functions, such as supporting the car's load when there is a load (goods or passengers).
It's good for motor vehicle owners to know the codes contained on the tires. In addition to personal knowledge, we can also find out whether the tire is suitable for the vehicle and its use and related to driving safety.
In addition to the above, vehicle owners must also know the expiration date of the tires they use. Ideally, the tire usage period is 5 years and every year it should be checked by a professional, considering that the period of tire use also depends on other factors such as: design, driving habits, weather, road conditions, and maintenance, including tire rotation.
The example above shows that the tires are produced in the 10th week of 2016, which ideally can be used until 2021.
It's a good idea to check the air pressure in the tires before traveling. In general, all vehicles produced today have a sticker with a description of how much air pressure is recommended by the manufacturer's. The location of the sticker is usually attached to the driver's or front passenger's door or on the inner pillar.
However, if the tires used are not the standard from the manufacturer but the size and diameter are still within the allowed tolerance limits, you can find information about the air pressure on the tires used.
Therefore, check your vehicle's tires regularly or before traveling to avoid things that are not desirable. Make sure they are the right size, shape, and tire pressure according to the recommended specifications, and always remember the number five years of tire use.
