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.
