wolfe10 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 drdively, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. First question: what is their age from the DOT code (last 4 digits are the WEEK and YEAR). That full date code is only molded into one sidewall, and may not be facing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tireman9 Report post Posted November 12, 2019 Some tire companies "start the warranty clock" on the date the tires are made, others on the date the ties are mounted. Some when the RV is first sold. My Class-C RV has a 2015 Chevy chassis but the RV is classified as a 2016. I did receive a "Delayed Warranty" document that started the GM Warranty in 2016 when I made the purchse.

I put on new tires last July, my Michelins were cracking at five and a half years old and 34,000 miles. Over rated and over priced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
