Tire Age
Posted by Gregory on December 1, 2006
How long can you run these tires if they look good and have good rubber.
I have four that are 6 years old on the rear of my motor home. The last two numbers on the dot are 00.
If the tires look good (there are no deep, weather cracks in the sidewall), you should be fine. Our rule-of-thumb is that cracks can not be more than 2/32nds inch deep. When in doubt, take the vehicle to a tire dealer that you trust to give you a straight answer. By the way, you are correct, a DOT code that ends in 00 indicates that the tire was made in 2000.
