Confused by the numbers and letters on your car tires? In this video, we break down tire codes in simple terms so you can understand exactly what you're driving on. We explain the tire size (width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter), radial construction, and the critical speed and weight ratings.
We explore the wonderful world of "tire size" and "tire sidewall" numbers. Using a 2026 Cadillac Optic, we explain what all of the "tire code" numbers mean, especially "how to check tyre manufacture date" to ensure vehicle safety. This is a must-watch for "car maintenance" enthusiasts!
You’ll also learn how to find the tire manufacturing date (DOT code) to check for safety recalls—essential for avoiding issues like tread separation. Whether you're checking your Cadillac Optic or any other vehicle, this guide ensures you know your tire's age, limits, and proper pressure requirements.
