FAQS

  • Q What type of tyre should I buy?

  • Q How old is the tyre I’m buying?

    You can check the age of your tyre by looking at the DOT Tyre Identification Number (TIN) on the sidewall. The last 4 digits represent the week and year the tyre was made. It is recommended that you check this date when purchasing tyres as well as the manufacturer’s recommended tyre replacement period.
