provides information about the grip on ice.  
Tyre manufacture date  
The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre  
sidewall.  
What you should be mindful of  
E.g. DOT ... 06 24 means that the tyre was manufac-  
tured in the 6. week in 2024.  
For the best possible performance, use tyres with  
a minimum tread depth of 4mm on all four wheels.
