Codes on Vehicle Tires

In basic, vehicle tires have a sort of dimensions which shown as a combination of both
letters and numbers, like on this example:

As you can see these: 205/55 ZR16 which means:

205
55
Z
R16

:

:

Width of the tire sole (mm)

Ratio aspect of tires thickness (%) of the tires sole width
Limit of Speed code
Dimension of the wheel rims diameter (inch)

And the limit of speed can be defined by its code as well i.e.:

S
T
H
V
Z

:

below 180 km/hour

below 190 km/hour
below 210 km/hour
below 240 km/hour
above 240 km/hour

While in common, for a jeep vehicle, the code used on the tire is the American version, e.g.
33 x 12.5 R15 that can be defined as follows:
33
: Overall heights/tire diameter (inch)
12.5
: Width of the tires sole (inch)
R15
: Wheel rims diameter (inch)
Vehicle tires also have Load Index and Speed Symbol that posted on the bodies i.e.

And the Speed Symbol:

However, those descriptions are not very much crucial, since the one that further crucial is
the CODE OF MANUFACTURE/PRODUCTION PERIOD of the tires. Vehicle tires have
expiration period by 3 years after they are manufactured.
The code of manufacture is printed on one of tires side (see FIG-1 and FIG-2) that comes
with unique marking. Every tire factory (manufacturer) has its own digit/character numbers
for such code, there either 5 digits or 7 digits. Yet one thing for sure, the last 4 digits are
the international standard that describe both the Week and the Year of the manufactured
tires.
This is the reason why people in general need to understand such codes of their own tires.

Take a good look on the FIG-1 above. It shows X2001 which means the tire is manufactured
on the 20th Week (X20-) and the Year of 2001 (-01).
One more example:

See the FIG-2, there shows the sort of code CJJ5101, can you understand it?
Yes, it means that the tire manufacturing is on the 51st Week and the Year of 2001.
It is best for us to understand this article in means of educating people. And also, it is best
to understand how important in replacing new sort of tires ideally per 2 years.
Hope it makes useful information.
