  1. #1

    Default TIRE MANUFACTURING DATES



    The example above is for tires manufactured after 2000:
    DOTU2LLLMLR5107 = MANUFACTURED 51 WK OF 2007

    ______________________________

    The example below is for tires manufactured before 2000:

    DOT EJ8J DFM 408 = MANUFACTURED 40TH MONTH OF THE 8TH YEAR OF THE DECADE



    As a general rule, you do not want to use a tire more then 6 years old. That is not written anywhere but a general consensus among tire experts and engineers.

    PS: The above pictures were taken from tire rack and you can find some really good information there.





    Manufactured during the 51st week of the year

    thanks definitely for the good info, although, darn what a complicated method of dating the tires, why couldn't just stamp the date on the tire.
