Thank you very much. That is good info.

So how do you order new tires and be guaranteed that it is a new manufacture????? I have never asked that question before

4x4Balls · 09-01-2008, 04:58 PM

well what im gonna do from now on is have them verify the code with me over the phone, or else i wont buy.

Interesting story...Ill have to check the ZR rated tires on the BMW and see what I have been driving at speed for the last two years!!! Actually this makes sense...and Ill bet if they are exposed to UV rays the deterioration is faster.....

Good to know Toyota used "fresh" tires on my truck. Coded 1508. Strange, I just bought new tires for my Corolla, they are also coded 1508. What are the odds?

Thats a huge coincidence. At least you know both sets of tires were made in april of this year.

Possum · 09-01-2008, 07:55 PM

Nice catch! The tire shops are ALWAYS gonna "show me" from now on. Thanks (nice avatar)

Thanks for that info. It is up to us, as consumers, to make our vehicles as safe as possible. I had no idea how to decode all those numbers.
