[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 298968, member: 1963"] Tires have a whole string of numbers on them that display encoded info. The very last string (in brackets) will be a four number code. It will read something like 4203 or similar. That code means the tire was made in the 42nd week of 2003. When I was tire shopping for my new tires I was stunned to find tires that had been made in the NINETIES! You should never buy tires that are more than seven years old. Ideally they should be no more than 2 years old. That's another reason I went with my dealership. My new tires were less than a year old. Note that up until very recently this info was on the INSIDE of the tire so if you wanted to check them while mounted you had to crawl under your vehicle with a flashlight. [/QUOTE]
