Tire Question August 18, 2021, 12:47:38 pm Recently, I had all my tires replaced. Upon closer inspection, I just noticed that the two outer rear tires do not show the date code. The date codes are on the inside next to the inner tire. The rear inner tires, and the front tires, all have the date code facing outward. Is this a problem ?
Re: Tire Question Reply #1 – August 18, 2021, 12:52:32 pm Not an issue unless they are directional tires.From tire rack:QuoteWhile the entire Tire Identification Number is required to be branded onto one sidewall of every tire, current regulations also require that DOT and the first digits of the Tire Identification Number must also be branded onto the opposite sidewall. Therefore, it is possible to see a Tire Identification Number that appears incomplete and requires looking at the tire's other sidewall to find the entire Tire Identification Numberand QuoteThe use of a partial Tire Identification Number on the one sidewall (shown above) reduces the risk of injury to the mold technician that would have to install the weekly date code on the top sidewall portion of a hot tire mold.https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=11Rich 1 Likes
