These tires .......are they on your 2006 Jayco Greyhawk 31SS?

Did you recently purchase this Class C....


Yes they are on my greyhawk, and yes I just bought it in April


Tires still have 'nubs' and you have owned it for 4+ months.

You really need to go camping .........MORE :B

Yes you will have to lay down and scoot under to read inside of tire for DOT date code. And it your luck runs like mind the code will be up towards the top so you will have to scoot back out move rig and then scoot back under only to find you have now moved it where tie rod is in the way.....:B
Is it time for your medication or mine?

The last four digits/date code are only on ONE sidewall. If "Bubba" mounted them, probably facing inward.

Just looked again, looked on all the tires fronts and the back duals same thing, I didn't check the back sides of the tires because I didn't feel like laying in dirt lol. They are capitol html tires and unfortunately they say they were made in Indonesia....

The tire has DOT in front of those characters. I will check again

The date code is in a series of characters that start with DOT and ends with 4 numbers. The first 2 numbers of the 4 are the week and the last 2 are the year.

Here is more info on the DOT code.

The date code is only required to be on one side of the tire. If the 4 numbers are not on the side you are looking at, look on the other side.
