33. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number) Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOOThe front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1618 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2018.
4. Tire ply composition and materi- alThe number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.5. Maximum permissible inflationpressureThis number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, it is recommended that tires
generally be replaced after six (6)
years of normal service. Heat
caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accel-
erate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning could cause
sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss of control and an
accident inv olving serious injury or
death.

When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make it work irregularly.

• Only steel wheel provided as a spare wheel with all variants of vehicle.
• Spare tire make can be from any tire manuafacturer i.e. Bridgestone/MRF/Apollo.
• It is permissible to add 20 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expect\b
ed soon. Tires typically lose 7 kPa (\f psi) for every 7°C (\f2°F) temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations
are expected, rec
heck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high\baltitude area above sea level. Thus, if you plan to drive a high\baltitude area, check the tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level (Air infla\b
tion per altitude: +\f0 kPa/\f km (+2.4 psi/\f mile).
