DOT ID.

[Jon]

I seem to be having problems with posting things tonight? But here I
go again. MY DOT NUMBER IS DOT B38T ABV X557

Now here is the federal rule:How do I know how old my tires are?
Each tire has a required Department of Transportation number
imprinted on at least one of its sidewalls. That number begins with
the letters "DOT" and may contain up to 12 additional numbers and
letters.

The first and last digits are the most important for the tire owner.
The first 2 letters/numbers identify the manufacturer of the tires.
Prior to the year 2000, the last 3 digits of a DOT number represented
the week (2 digits) and the year (1 digit) of production.

For example, if the last three digits are 439, the tire was produced
in the 43rd week of 1999. Tires produced after January 1, 2000 have a
4-digit date code at the end of the DOT number. The first 2 digits
represent the week of production and the last 2 digits represent the
last 2 digits of the year of production. So, 3500 as the last 4
numbers indicates that the tire was produced in the 35th week of the
year 2000.


Now if I'm reading this right my tire were manufactured on the 57
week
in 1997. Now am'I reading this right? need reply-And if I'm reading
this right well down to Les Swab I go! Jon
