Thanks for the info on determining the age of tires. I knew there was a code and was getting ready to research it. You saved me the trouble. And the pictures really helped me a lot!
I've always replaced my MH tires at 6-7 years regardless of how good they looked. However, last year we bought a used 2005 motorhome with an unknown history. Looking at the tires (three different brands) I've determined the steering tires are week 46, 2011. Rear left are week 1, 2005 and cannot tell rear right as I cannot find the DOT code. I have an appointment Monday to install 4 new tires on the rear axles. Even though the current tires look okay, we're not taking a chance.
