In place na kaya itong coding kahit manufactured year 1999 and below? Just checked our spare tire in one of our rides (na siguradong mid 90s pa). Can't find rin the code on that tire. Kita naman doon sa tires na yr 2000 and up.

[Bogeyman]

Three of my tires are marked '2304'. One is marked '2204'.

Haven't checked the spare yet. Medyo mahirap abutin eh. :D

Bogey, a week apart lang manufacturing... kung bnew naman oto nyo di magkakalayo ang date for sure, by batch kasi order ng planta sigurado.

Yup, brand new ko nakuha yung oto. No problem regarding the tires, anyway. Just interesting to know that we can actually gauge how old our rubbers are.

mga sirs, di ko makita yung sa good year tires. yung sa yokohama nakita ko na..
may pics ba kayo ng markings on goodyears?

[Bogeyman]

I have Goodyear GT880s on mine, and the numbers are not surrounded by asterisks. Baka yun ang hinahanap mo, kaya medyo hindi mo makita. I found the digits on the tire's inner radius, the last four in a sequence of numbers.

[NazQ]

hmm.. will check again. tnx bogeyman!

[theveed]

Year of manufacture naman ng oto mo nasa flap ng seatbelt hehe.

[mikey177]

mikey: Meron po lahat AFAIK as long as steel belted radials... Not so sure sa mga "tube type" na gulong.

It is stamped on the tire itself, along with all the other tire info sa sidewall...

Hanapin mo nalang ang 2 digit year number sa dulo... malamang yun na yun...

Thanks, guys. I had to return my cousin's van yesterday so I didn't have another chance to look at his Goodyears.

However, I found the date markings on the Dunlops on my van. Strange though, two of them were marked 1205 but the other one didn't have any date stamp in the place where it should be. Instead there were only the intials "S.R."

Anyway, I'll be sure to check out the date of manufacture when buying tires in the future. Again, great info.

Most of us may not be aware but one of the most important part of our ride needs a second look. Check this out.
Vehicle tires have a 4-year validity period from their Date of Manufacture (DOM). Thereafter, the tire expires and may burst whilst in use. How to find out whether your tire has expired? Check for a stamp like this: (*2603*) There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial number. The first two numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year has it been manufactured.
NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two numbers represent the year of make. Therefore, *2603* shows that the said tire is manufactured in the 26th week of the year 2003. *2699* this shows that the tire is made in the 26th week of 1999.
Check all your tires for safety purposes. Do not use expired tires. They are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather) because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked

nice and thanks hayward for this

How come only 1 tire has this marking? The other 3 tires have just blanks on those spaces.

I think the other marking could be found in the other side of the tire wall facing your vehicle. Kasi hindi lahat na nakasulat sa isang side pareho sa kabilang side. Only significant specs are present at both sides. You may confirm this from your spare tire if they are of the same type & make.

^^ Good point.

IMO:I doubt if this print on the tire sidewall is really the date of manufacture of the tire. Since my car was purchased in 2003, and the markings on the tire side wall is "1505"... all four tires. Its not possible that the tire was manufactured only in 2005 (mas lalo na hindi 1905) when I'm already driving the car since July 2003 pa. Probably its the manufacturing batch or whatever and not the date it was manufactured. Kase..the facts are inconsistent with the real time. Opinion lang po.

Yeah I figured that out yesterday when I checked my spare. Its date marking was on the inside
