[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15315027, member: 141815"] Snoopy All tires have a date code on them. The first part of the code is the number of the week it was built in, the second part is the year. Most reputable tire shops will not install a tire after it is 5 years old no matter what the condition of the tire case or tread depth. Once you are looking at a high performance tire with a speed rating in excess of 168 MPH I don't think anybody would install them to be used for anything other then a museum piece for display purposes when considering the liability factor of one failing at speed here is how you can read the date code on a tire. It is something I learned a long time ago dealing with truck tires when deciding if the casing were worthy of retreading or not.
