Thanks for the post!!!!!!! I spent 1,600 for two sets of tires (summer and winter) 8 months ago and I never knew about the manufacture date. I bought them from a Goodyear, I pray they are not old.

From now on before getting new tires put on my car, I'm having a look at that number before hand.

if you look, i posted this almost 4 months ago.... i bumped it back up, because i bought a set of new tires including a spare that i thought were new... it turns out that 3 of them were 3 years old, but 2 were newer.... i was pissed because i was buying new tires.. i just wanted to make sure everyone on wbw new what the numbers on the tires meant, and what to look for when buying them...thanks for watching the video, fathertime (larry)..

In my opinion, all manufactures of anything should put a, manufacture date, not a code that needs to be broken to see how old something is...

i agree 100%... like i said, i was pissed... i'll keep bumping this thread as long as they don't take the link down to let members know what these numbers mean...

Thank you for the bump. I consider myself a car guy and well-educated on cars.

This is something I never realized, never knew, and never even thought about.

no problem... i've been into cars all my life, but when they started to change the numbers, i never knew what they were for... i think everyone needs to be informed about this... i posted this a while ago, but i got few responses... i just thought i would bump it back up in case people missed it, or new members never got a chance to see it...thank you for taking the time to watch it...

I'm betting, most people like myself never gave a second thought to all the numbers on the tires. And who would have thought they would sit on dealers shelves for years before being sold either...

Why is this subject made out like it has been this huge secret kept from the world. DOT numbers are not new. The "secret code" has never been kept from consumers. Nobody has ever asked how to read it. If you purchase tires, you are supposed to go to the manufacturers websites and register the tires to you in case of a recall. Where is the big secret?
