Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLa fecha de fabricación (semana y año).The date of manufacture (week and year).
Explanation

The marking DOT followed by four digits shows the tyre's date of manufacture: the first two digits are the week and the last two the year. DOT 0410 means week 4 of 2010. It tells you how old the tyre is, not an expiry date.
