What this sheet is for
Find old tyres before they reach a steered axle or pass your own age limit. One sheet per vehicle, read position by position from the sidewall date codes.
Who it is for
Fleet engineers, tyre contractors and transport managers responsible for lorries, buses, coaches or trailers.
How to use it
- Print one sheet per vehicle and fill in the vehicle details and axle count at the top.
- Read the date code on each tyre, write it as moulded, and work out the age in years.
- Write the age limit you work to for each position, and the date by which the tyre must come off.
- Check the codes again at each inspection or tyre change, striking out a line when its tyre is replaced.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every tyre on one vehicle, position by position: the date code as moulded, the age worked out from it, how it was made, and when it comes off under the age limit you set for that position.
Reading the date code. The last four digits of the date code on the sidewall are the week and year of manufacture, so 2319 is week 23 of 2019. Write the limit you work to in each row: the rules on tyre age, above all on a steered axle, differ by country and vehicle type, so check them where you operate.
Write-on lines: Vehicle reg / fleet no. · Type (rigid, tractor, trailer, bus) · No. of axles · Steered axles
Tyres by position — position: axle from the front, L or R, inner or outer — type: N new, R retread, G regrooved
Table, 12 rows: Position · Steered · Make and size · Date code · Age · Fitted · Type · Limit · Replace by · Checked
Write-on lines: Next date-code check due · Register checked by · Date
Questions
Why is there no age limit printed on the sheet?
Because the rules on tyre age differ between countries and vehicle types, and many operators set a stricter limit of their own. Each position has a box for the limit you actually work to, so the replace-by date is worked out from your figure.
How do I read a tyre's date code?
Look for the last four digits of the code on the sidewall: the first two are the week of manufacture and the last two the year. A tyre showing 2319 was made in week 23 of 2019.
