tire date code...

[blkTJ]

anyone know how to read the date code off the sidewall of a tire???

I understand America's tire won't warranty tires over 5 years old. I'm not completely sure mine are, just wanted to double check before I go in.

is it a 4 digit # at the end? should read like 1-day-2mont-3-year. or give me the last #s in the dot code. and i will tell you. i have been a tire man all my life so if there is anything i can do let me know? if it is a 3digit # just say junk.

figured it out... in the last four digits, first two are the week second two are the year. for instance, my oldest tire is 1004 which means it was produced in the 10th week of 2004.
