Re: How to tell the Manufacturing Date of a Tyre Didn't want to start a separate thread, so I'll ask it here as it's related.
Recently replaced the tires on my 2016 Creta, with the same Bridgestone Dueler ( this is the second time I'm changing ). I checked the mfg dates etc before approving their fitting to the car. When I came back in a few hours the way the tires were fitted, the MFG date on 2 tyres were visible on the outside but for 2 other tires they were fitted such that the mfg date was on the inside. While I got it somehow verified, it still worries me if it was fit wrong.
All the tires I have replaced have always had the mfg date on the outside when fitted. The SA said that they fit it such that the orange dot on the tire sidewall has to be on the outside, irrespective of the where the mfg date is printed. He showed me multiple other cars where it was the same as mine : 2 tyres had their mfg date visible while 2 had it on the inside. Has something changed / is this something I need to probe further? |
