Are They New Tyres ?

[Bazile]

Bought two tyres last week from Halfords

I've noticed that there are no tyre hairs on them .

Should they have the tyre hairs on them to show that they are new ?

[Bazile]

'Tyre hairs' should be 'Rubber hairs' , in the above

Perhaps they are just very good at housekeeping.

Rubber hairs as you describe could still be present on old tyres, so is no way to check.

[Bazile]

So, should the hairs be on the tyres i bought , which is supposed to be new ?

There is a 4-digit code on the tyrewall, of the form WWYY, where WW is the week number and YY is the year ie, 0317 means manufactured in week 3 2017.

I'd be surprised if a company like Halfords are peddling used tyres as new. I don't think they all have "hairs" these days, depends on the moulding machine.

my new uniroyal had no hairs on depends on manufacturer
