I was browsing some Class C's for sale and they posted a photo of the tire with this date.

You just made that up??? :B


No. Actually Pope Gregory XIII introduced the calendar in the 1500s. I wasn't born until the 1950s.


He was one smart Pontiff, figuring out tire date codes back then. :B

"Date codes differ from mfg to mfg but the info above could be correct."

Beg to differ, sir. A portion of the DOT required alpha-numeric string can
be used by the tire manufacturer for his unique coding, however the last 4 digits must, by DOT rules for every tire requiring DOT marking sold in the USA, indicate week and year tire was manufactured.
