TIPS KESELAMATAN MINGGU INI (PART 1)





TYRE EXPIRY
Vehicle tires have a 4-year validity period from their Date of Manufacture (DOM). Thereafter, the tire
expires and may burst whilst in use. How to find out whether your tire has expired? Check for a
stamp like this: (*2603*) There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial number.
The first two numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year has it been manufactured.
NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two numbers represent the year of make. Therefore, *2603*
shows that the said tire is manufactured in the 26th week of the year 2003. *2699* this shows that the
tire is made in the 26th week of 1999.
Check all your tires for safety purposes. Do not use expired tires. They are likely to burst (especially
when running in hot weather) because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked.
.4002. means
DOM is Week 40
of year 2002

sebagai bekas Q-Tech Engineer Goodyear Tyre (M), saya mengesahkan laporan en. zawal.

jgn terpedaya tayar murah kat klang, tgk dulu manufacturing date.
tukar tayar:
1- bila cukup wang
2- dah guna tayar dlm jangkamasa 2 tahun (jgn lebih!)
3- bila nampak abnormalities
4- bila naluri pertama kata "kena tukar ni" (do not listen to 2ndary naluri - yang biasanya opposite!)
5- bila kedai tayar bukak
6- bila dah pakai keta
7- bila ... (habis idea)
:-)
