Is there a date stamp on Hoosier slicks

[btrc]

I just got a new pair of slicks and they look like they have sitting on a shelf for a long time. Is there a date stamp somewhere on the tire or label that would show when they were produced?
And would it make any difference in how they would work if they are a year or two old but have never been mounted or outside for that matter?

Check their website. MT has that info on their slicks.

This is right off Hoosier website

"Every Hoosier race tire has a four character serial code embossed into ONE sidewall of the side wall "

Service Life For Race Tires

Old tires can fail in use, causing loss of vehicle control and personal injury. Environmental conditions like temperature extremes, exposure to sunlight, electric arc, solvents, automotive fluids, and atmospheric pollutants accelerate the aging process. Hoosier Racing Tire strongly recommends that new (sticker) tires should be put in service within 2 years of date of purchase. Used (scuffed) tires have a shorter service life than new (sticker) tires. Poor storage and infrequent use accelerate the aging process.

I.ve seen MT slicks with serial # along the edge of where bead meets the wheel .. typical last 4 digits means what week & year of build
