Tire Safety Tip

[Sumter Tire & Auto]

Happy New Year! Here's a good tire safety tip to start the year off right! It is recommended that your tires be replaced if they are older than 5 years. A quick way to check the date is to look at the DOT # on the side of the tire. The last 4 digits show the date in weeks, then year. For example, the tire pictured below was manufactured on the 21st week of 2014. Feel free to stop by either location and we will help you out. Call Alicia at 352-748-6549 with any questions!

Great tip!

I agree. You can't just look at tread depth to determine if the tire is OK.
