I have a couple spare Michelin “X” tires, made on France, that I know are at least from around 1990.  Is there a date code for these older tires?
Thx,
Bill B

If it wAs legal for sale in the US, there is a code.  It's a little
different from the modern code, though.  Google should help you out.  My
1985 Redlines had a code.

I believe a tire date code from the HW Bush era will only have a single

went to a 2 digit year in 2000.
