There is a DOT number on the sidewall which can tell you when your tyre was manufactured

Nice one, but no it's not my lad's car again.
It's a car that has been used by the same instructor since new and regular tyre and safety checks not only carried out but also recorded on forms submitted to us.

Hi,
Don't know where you get the idea of driving school cars doing emergency stops every hour it may be that a student takes 40+ hours to learn to drive and may do a few emergency stops in that time.
7 years with a driving school, now 38 cars and some doing 25,000 miles and others 60,000 miles a year and this is the first time any of us have seen a tyre like this.
I have personally driven about 25,000 miles a year for last 25 years and have never seen a tyre go this way.
Faulty batch of tyres as car has only done 15,000 miles.
Watch this space for update
