You can easily find the age of your tires. On the tire sidewall
should be the DOT code. It is generally about 8 digits long (not
including the "DOT") although it doesn't have to be. It begins with
"DOT", then some letters/numbers which indicate the plant where the
tires were made, and some manufacturer specific information. The last
4 characters represent the age of the tire. The last two digits
represent the year the tires were built, and the 2 digits before those
represent the week in which they were built. So for example, 0508
means the fifth week of 2008. This full code will only appear on one
side of the tire, the other side has a shorter code that doesn't
include the date.
Hope it helps...
