Question 1468 in the bank

The manufacure date of a vehicle’s tire is:

  1. Noted in the vehicle book.
  2. Correct answer: Marked on the tire.
  3. Noted in the vehicle’s registration document.
  4. Noted in the vehicle’s insurance policy.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Marked on the tire.

The manufacture date is marked on the tire's sidewall, usually as a four-digit code showing the week and year it was made. Tires are replaced during a vehicle's life, so the registration document, insurance policy or vehicle book cannot show their age. Checking this date matters, because rubber ages and hardens over time even on a tire that has barely been used.
