To find out the date of manufacture of a tyre, simply look for the DOT code on the sidewall marking.
The last 4 digits of the DOT code, for example 1024, tell you the week and year of manufacture.

Spare tyre
One last piece of advice: remember the great forgotten item, the spare tyre, or failing that, the
puncture kit. Regularly check that it is in perfect condition and at the right pressure.

‘From Bridgestone, taking into account these recommendations, we want to highlight the
importance of preventive maintenance of all the elements of our vehicle, especially the tyres.
These, together with the braking system (ABS), stability control (ESP or ESC), traction control
systems and power steering, form part of the key elements of the vehicle’s active safety. Therefore,
we recommend to always be alert and drive responsibly’, concludes Adrià Martínez, Technical
Department Engineer at Bridgestone.
