Dates on tires

art leong · 06-02-2014, 01:04 AM

I bought a set of 6 slightly used tires for my tow vehicle. They look like they have almost no wear. No checking or cracks. They are Continental General LMT's and were made in the USA.
Any way I can check the age?

The last 4 numbers in the DOT code will be the week of manufacture and the year, Example 3307, thirty third week of 2007

You will need to look for the DOT number on both sides of the tires. One side will have the DOT number, but no date code, The other side will have the date code after the DOT number

Do you read the code dates the same for the big rv (diesel) tires?
