DfT updates old tyre guidance, warns of unlimited fines in England
Tyres sold in Great Britain are required to have their date of manufacture marked on the sidewall. Based on the US-originated DOT code marking, this date is shown as a 4-digit number. The first 2 digits indicate the week number in which the tyre was manufactured and the last two digits the year. In this example, the tyre was manufactured in week 21 of 2020.

Less than two weeks before the new 10-year-old tyre ban takes effect and two weeks after DVSA updated its definition of the rules, the Department for Transport (DfT) has released new guidance on how to understand the legislation as well as a summary of the corresponding penalties.
