Tire Manufactured Date
Someone just sent me this info, is it accurate?
"There is a code on the sidewall of your tires that tells you when the tire was manufactured. Old tires that sit around before they are sold can be dangerous, the tread can come off while you are driving. The tires are sold as new even though they may be years old. The code is the last numbers after a string of them close to the rim, something like 4305, which means the 43rd week of 2005."
I checked the snow tires I just got from Tirerack and if I'm looking at the correct numbers, they are 1708 and 1808-so very new.
