I just bought new tyres, was sad when the lines disappeared.
It also identifies the construction of the tyre carcass before moulding, to differentiate between a standard car tyre , a high performance tyre or a commercial tyre that may have the same size , but different construction /tread compounds etc
Tires have a few other things on them that are equally important. And that is the Date Code. The date code tells the consumer what year and month that tire was made. It is mandatory by the Federal government for any tire sold in America. So if you are getting some really amazingly cheap price on your tires, check the day code. Could be they are a few years old and they are trying to get rid of them out of their inventory... The date code is made up of four numbers. The first two indicate what week it was made, while the last two numbers are the year.
Interesting. I figured they were to check alignment but also for roundness, but that was just a guess. Thanks for this video.
I can now die in peace knowing that life's greatest mystery has been solved. Thanks again.
There is one thing that you should pay attention to and that is the DOT number on the side. It tells you the month and year of manufacture. Don’t buy tyres that have had a Long shelf life. If it says 0924 they are brand new.
From WC, so where do you mount the tire on a steel or alloy wheel using the colored dots?
Many thanks for sharing
One other very important indicator is the production date code. I never buy tires that are more than 6 months old.
I only buy tyres because of the lines ...when there gone i replace
Great video
The lines are the work of the tire police.
In other words, the colored lines are a form of BAR CODE , for tires, colored lines can be stretched and deformed WITHOUT changing what the code says, as a BAR CODE CAN!!!?
Let’s hope the tires are built to last. Maypop Tires . May pop , may not .
Maybe you should be able to buy custom tyres with coloured rubber so you car stands out from the crowd?
They tried colored tires in the 50s but they just weren't anywhere near as durable as black tires. The issue was that black tires absorb heat much better and allows the rubber to flex more easily with less cracking and crumbling.
You can already
You can't say "colored" lines, they are African American lines.
Boy was i way off, i thought they were showing the rainbow people of the world had a job making tires. Sorry, cough, not sorry 😂
First but certainly not last!!
Ghee how did I make it 74 years without giving a crap about the colored lines on tires? Thanks for the useless information.

There are no perfumes added to a tire. You need to educate yourself kid
