Above is an example of a DOT Safety Standard Code. (http://www.teammiata.com/libs/tire-sidewall.htm) The following information will tell you how to read serial numbers on all new manufactured tires:


DOT means the tire meets or exceeds Department of Transportation's safety standards.

"MA" is the code number assigned by DOT to the manufacturing plant.

"L9" is the tire size; in this case a P195/75R14.

"ABCD" is a group of up to four symbols, optional with the manufacturer, to identify the brand or other significant characteristics of the tire.

"036" means the tire was made during the 3rd week of 1996. The first two numbers designates the week, the last number the year.

Manufacturing dates after 1999 now have 4 digits like 0303 would be the 3rd week of 2003.

Is there a chart for the tire sizes???

Just my .02 and then some.

So what you're saying is that in 995 years we're going to be faced with a Y3K glitch.

Don't think so. Even my VCR didn't stumble on Y2K. Should you have a problem in 995 years, bring it to me and we will file a grievance with DOT, and who knows, they might have it cleared up in another 3 to 4 years.
