When we went to the first RV Dreams Rally in Branson there was discussion on how to tell the age of a tire....Due to a disease I have called "Oldtimers" I have forgotten how the age of a tire was calculated....could someone please tell me how I figure out how old a tire is...

Charles,
If you published the info on the board, then others would be able to learn also.

Thanks for the suggestion, Fred.
Every tire has a date of manufacture code stamped on the sidewall on one side or the other.
Sample: DOT PDHH FLOR 3403
This always begins with DOT and ends with a 3 or 4 digit number. The las two digits indicate the year and the first one or two indicate the week of that year (1 up to 52).
In the sample above, the tire was manufactured in the 34th week of 2003.
Hope this helps.

Here's the Wikipedia article that breaks it all down:

You wont find speed ratings on ST tires. Generally speaking they are all 65 MPH. For some reason their manufacturers all think the users know that. However, some do publish the information on their load inflation charts/tables like the one in the reference.
