Ek was self baie streng om die 5 jaar reel toe te pas, maar het by verskeie bande handellaars gehoor dat dit nie akkuraat is nie, tot 7 jaar is 'n goeie syfer vir 'n band wat nie stil staan nie.
Bande is rond, dit moet rol?
Chinese tyres
Hi Warren
I don't need convincing, its not on my car. As long as you are convinced, then its OK.
Once a dealer brought a Polo classic from Pretoria to Brits for me to look at, and obviously with the interest to buy it. We put the car on a lift and by luck, the rear tyre stop at a point and clearly showed a crack across the whole width. That's why it caught my eye in your photo.

0u bande is gevaarlik
In 2013 pak ons die klein Glider trailer oppad om te gaan kamp by Dolphin in Natal.
Net anderkant Van Reenen se ek vir die Tannie dat Natal die vriendelikste mense het in SA en dat ons lekker gaan kamp met al die vriendelikheid saam.
Almal wat verby jaag waai en skree die vriendelikheid in ons rigting en ons doen ewe vriendelik saam. Het gesleep met my D4D Hilux, hoog, sien gladnie die wa nie.
Naderhand se die Tannie daai een ou het gewaai, geskree en gevloek, besluit om te stop, gelukkig het een van die tweeling n piepie gehad.
Toe ek stop en uitklim is daai wa kistoe geslaan deur albei tyres wat gebars het, net sulke toue is oor op daai wit rims wat toe nou pikswart was.
Lang storie kort te maak, laai die trailer op n flatbed na Greytown toe en sit nuwe wiele op.
Daai aand vra en vir die Tannie wanneer ons nou weer die wa gekoop het, in 1995 se sy vir my!!!!
Toe lyk daai tyres asof hulle gister opgesit was maar is toe alreeds 18 jaar oud!!
Frik ek hoor jou, sal net…
Frik ek hoor jou, sal net graag wil weet op watse ouderdom vervang mens ń band.
Handelaars reken 7 jaar, vervaardigers (op hul website) verskil can so 7 jaar tot 9 jaar en selfs 10 jaar as jy die band mooi oppas.
Met oppas bedoel hulle, nie teen randstene stamp, altyd op die regte druk ry (te hoë of te laë druk is baie sleg vir ń band.
Natuurlik is dit baie belangrik om ń band nooit te oorlaai nie, kan ń band se lewe met 50% verminder!
Check maar gereeld jou bande vir baie fyn haar krakies veral in die loopvlak. Kyk ook vir vervorming van die band, laminering trek los en vervorm die band.
Vir iemand wat nie sy bande oppas kan 5 jaar te lank wees, jy beskadig die struktuur van ń band erg met harde stampe teen klippe, speedhumps, ens.
Ek ry maklik so gemideld van 9 jaar met ń band op my trokkie en so 6 tot 7 jaar op die wa.
Maar ja elkeen doen wat hom gemoedsrus gee, ek was baie bly toe jy van ń verval datum praat. Ek het al baie navorsing gedoen en nog nooit ń regte antwoord kon kry nie.
Ek is maar geneig om die vervaardiger te glo, vermoed hy weet dalkies die beste?
Date of manufacture
Ususall there are the letters DOT in a circle this stands for Department Of Trade the figures there after denote the week & year of manufacturer.
I tend to side with Arrie, The age of the tyre depends on the condition which is something you must determine, IE visual inspection especially for micro cracks between the tread pattern and seperation cracks between the tread & sidewall on the edges of the tyre.
I'm a bit leery of the dealer's 5 year thing I think they have their own agenda to make money
BUT
There are other factors that need to be taken into consideration, that most of us have no knowledge of, such as tread & caseing seperation Internal structure failure ETC....
Just reciently, I had I had wheel alignment done on my 1800 corolla at the the dealer I always go to, and he informed me my R front must be replaced for structural reasons, tread seperation, and ran his hand over the tyre and said feel here... Well I felt the tyre and honestly thought he was talking crap....
Wheel alignment finished (not bad) African technician goes for test drive, comes back, not happy something wrong, car pulling to left, feels all 4 tyres and says to me driver's side is a problem...
(Same tyre)
Says to me he'll change it front to back, goes for test comes back says not pulling to the left but have that tyre changed...
Point I'm making, I'm not an expert, sometimes one has to rely on dealer's, and dealer ethics...
so I would say if you are concerned take it to more than one dealer and get 2 or more opinions.
Copied from somewhere
TYRE AGE
The date your tyres were made will be on the sidewall in the form of four numbers usually preceded by the letters DOT. These numbers represent the week number and year, so 3410 will be week 34, 2010.
Use that information to make sure you're buying tyres with the longest shelf life possible
DOT BFI NHW 11 08 07..... The 08 stands for made in stands for July.... and the 07 stands for made in 2007
TYRE SIZE & DESIGNATION
265 / 70 / R 16 C ,
265 = Width of the tread of the tyre
70 = Aspect ratio, able to calculate the tire height.(See example)
R = Radial
C = Commercial
ASPECT RATIO EXAMPLE
MARKING
256 / 70 R 16
FORMULAE: -
70 % OF 256 * 2 = 358.4
WHERE: -
70 % = ASPECT RATIO (GIVEN)
256 IS THE WIDTH OF THE TYRE (GIVEN)
358 = DIAMETER OF THE WHEEL
So now you know.....
Warren, this is what you are…
Warren, this is what you are referring to, date of manufacturer.
Op hierdie spesifieke band…
Op hierdie spesifieke band beteken dit dat die band in die 23 ste week van 2016 vervaardig is.
Ek het my papgooi bakkie se bande na gegaan en dit wys geen krake hoegenaamd nie, Dit is al verby die 5 jaar van vervaardiging en is nog basies nuut.
Ons wag nou al lank vir jou…
Ons wag nou al lank vir jou posting!
Toe ek die opskrif fixed up the post dog ek ek gaan nou lekker lees. Al wat jy sê is ne.
Ek verstaan glad nie?
Short-n-sweet
Added in the aspect ratio calculation formulae, of the post
My stupidheid.......... eers na die uit-tik vanni ding uitgevind hoe om n skets wat in Paint gedoen is in te plak.....
Sl more weer daarby uitkom
Cheers
I must go get ready for my accreditation auditors follow-up meeting tomorrow - go see post when people dont stuffing listen.... Nou sit ek met die ding opgeskep

Krakies in Karavaan bande.

Ek sal beslis vervang as…
Ek sal beslis vervang as daar krakies is, maar waar jy 13 dm gaan kry weet ek nie?
Frik, dit is die…
Dankie Arie, jy is reg, ek het die regte ding bedoel maar verkeerd geskryf!
5 jaar van datum van vervaardiging wat die verval datum is.
