Tire date - DOT number?

Recommended Posts

I have seen references to the DOT number on the side wall telling you the age/prod date of the tire.....can you give me more specifics on how to read this number and where it is on the sidewall?

Thanks

Welcome

If you go to your tire manufacturers web site and search for their RV tire brochure, you should find specifics on where the DOT info is found on your tires. Both Michelin and Bridstone even show pictures. :)

Generally the DOT numbers are near the wheel rim and may only be on one side of the tire. The last four digits give you the week and year a tire was made. 5211 would mean 52nd week of 2011 and 0112 would mean 1st week of 2012.
