BlueBlackBird Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Just a quick question, a local(Ottawa) shop has a great deal on tires 50%off but I dont want a tire that has been sitting in a warehouse for 4 yrs or whatever. Is there a date of manufacture on the P.R. , is there something stamped on the sidewall of the tire?? By the way that was a great thread on the mysterious loose chain!!! Thanks BBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warchild Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You are looking for a 4-digit codes embossed on the sidewall of the tire. The first two digits represent the week it was manufactured. The last two didts represent the year it was manufactured. So if you see a code that says "2505", that means it was made in June (week 25) of 2005.
