The problem with that is that a tire manufactured in the 14th week of 1985 would likely carry the same date stamp.
Technically speaking, a tire is considered to be old when it is six or more years old.The meaning of first sets of numbers are known only to tire manufactures, dealers and perhaps the DOT.The last four numbers are the important part because they identify the week and the year of manufacturing.This is a series of articles on the technical aspects of tires, their care and usage.My primary purpose in these articles is to help people understand tires and thereby reduce the risks we all face every day.
