Tyres - How to tell the age of them.

As a rule of thumb, if your tyre is over 6 years old, then it should be replaced. All tyres have a 4 digit date code on them (if the date code only has 3 digits, then it was made before 2000! so get them replaced ASAP).
Based on the today's date, if your tyre date code is older than:   it is recommended that it is replaced.



Tyres - What is the load index?

All tyres have a load index. These determine what weight the tyre is able to carry. A load index of 62 means a load of 265Kg, a load index of 126 means a load of 1700Kg, a load index of 150 means a load of 3350Kg. Make sure when having new tyres fitted, that they meet or exceed the load index requirements. Click here to find out more about the load index and speed rating of tyres
