In a "previous life", I sold tires for awhile, (a Major National Brand), and some of the tires we sold were 5 years old before they ever touched the pavement.

We bought tires last Oct. for the MH. While doing the research we discovered how to tell the birthday of the tires. When we bought they were less than 4 monthe old. Get the data first.

Here's some help. Note after 2000 the date code is 4 digits and is coded as week number XX, year number YY. Prior to 2000 it is 3 digits and these tires should not still be on your vehicle. In this example the tire was made 3 week of 2004.
Interesting article/video we saw on Tires and their true age. Check it out...
