The DOT code will get you right down to which physical factory the tire was made in. That is part of the tracking system in place so that manufacturers can recall tires made in a specific place when there is a problem related to a specific manufacturing facility.
If you want it, somewhere here I have the chart that is the decoder for all the production plants.
Thanks.
According to this list the tires I gave the code for are made in:
7D HANGZHOU GENERAL RUBBER FACTORY HANGZHOU CHINA
Not sure if that makes any difference vs plain ol' "Made in China". ;)
Looking at this Google search it seems that this is the largest tire manufacturer in China and 9th largest in the world. That in and of itself is not germane to whether or not current tires coming from them have quality issues ... which was my original enquiry. :)
