The numbers on the tire offer a lot of information. See the images below for a brief description

There is a Department of Transportation (DOT) Safety Code that appears on all tires. This assures that your tire complies with all DOT safety standards. After the letters “DOT” on your tire, is your tire’s ID number. It begins with the tire’s manufacturer and plant code to tell you where the tire was manufactured (two numbers or letters). The 9th and 10th characters tell the week the tire was manufactured, and the final number(s) give you the year the tire was manufactured.
