Things to Check Before You Buy Used Tires
- Learn about the age of a tire.
You can find this information on a tire sidewall – it’s four last numbers after DOT. The first two numbers mean the week, and the last two – the year of manufacture. So, 3514 will mean the tire was made during the 35th week of 2014. According to manufacturers, after 6 years of frequent usage, the rubber starts to break down and dry too much. The US Department of Transportation suggests up to 10 years the maximum age of a working tire in case of excellent maintenance. Usually, on the 7th year, the rubber starts to deteriorate, so be cautious and look for cracks from dryness. - Mind UTQG code.
The Uniform Tire Quality Grade Standards (UTQG) rating can tell you how fast the tire will wear out. The smaller the “Treadwear” number is, the faster the process will be. There are some tires under UTQG 100 that wear really fast, yet there are tires with UTQG 450-600 that will last for a really long time, but often as the expense of performance.Penny test (source: nbainsurance.com) - Check the tread depth.
The simplest way to сheck the tread depth is to insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head upside down; if you see the whole head, the tire is worn out. You can also use a quarter, or a tread depth gauge, or look at the tread indicator on the tire. - Learn about the tire’s past.
Before you buy used tires, find out about the vehicle they were used on, the weather conditions they were exposed to, etc. If the tires were not used for long, ask about the conditions they were stored in. Every detail is important, every problem encountered, every repair, every udner- or over-inflation. Such details usually influence the condition of a tire, its treadwear, etc.Signs of tire wear (source: lexusofroyaloak.com) - Look for uneven wear.
Inspect the tire for uneven wear: if you notice any, the tires might have been under or over inflated, imbalanced, etc. Such tread-wear can expose the cords or cause liner damage that leads to tire collapsing. - Look for details on beads and sidewalls.
Pay attention to the condition of the sidewalls and beads, whether there are any cracks, cord exposure, or cuts. Bumps on sidewalls can mean the belt is separated or there’s another internal damage. Bead chunking won’t allow the tire to be sealed properly, which can lead to serious consequences. - Beware improper repairs.
Watch out for improper repairs that can make the tire look good for a while. Tire repair has to be done very carefully, and not all repair procedures work at all.
