Tire date code?

[barkingspider]

Can someone determine the build date of this tire? I purchased them new in 2019. Thanks

Look at the other side of the tire. There's no date code there. Sometimes the date code is only stamped on one side, and that appears to be the case here.

Check the other tires, before you go crawling underneath. You might get lucky...

You need something that ends with a number that has 4 numbers.... such as 1621, which would be the 16th week of 2021.

Date code is four digits. First two week, second two year. A tire made today would read 4321.

mrsilv04 is right, check the other side and you should find the code following the DOT code.

I just bought two new tires yesterday, and noticed that the full DOT code is stamped on *both* sides....

This specific tire had the date code printed on only one side, it’s 1818.
