What Should I Consider when Buying Used Tires?
check for uneven wear, cracks in the sidewalls, being out of round, wear indicators showing, and price
Check for bulges, wear on the tire on the surface and at the edges and the date of production, usually provided on the tires in 4 digits. The first two digits represent the week (out of 52 weeks) and the last 2 digits represent year. For instance, if a tire is marked 1104 this means it was made in the eleventh week of year 2004. Generally the older the date, the less useable the tire is supposed to be.
