Tyre Age

The first two digits represent the week of the year the tyre was produced from 1 to 52. The last two digits represent the year. So, a tyre marked 1315 was manufactured in the 13th week of 2015.

If the date of manufacture on your tyres is in excess of 6 years, we recommend having your tyres checked out to ensure they are still roadworthy.

Tyre Sizes

Tyre width
The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall.

Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So, an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width.

Rim Size
The next two digits represent the size of the wheel rim that the tyre can be fitted to.
