when checking tires, you might be surprised to find it has 16.5 tries on it... try to find a spare tire in 16.5 size on a road trip is not easy... just trying to help.. better to know now then be stuck some place waiting for a tire.. so if 16.5 tires on it try finding a tire for it.
my buddys 1987 has 16.5 tires from 1978 on it. :(
PS The date of manufacture is the last four digits of the DOT code. The first two digits are the week of manufacture, and the last two digits are the year. For example, if the last four digits of the DOT code are 0203, that means that the tire was manufactured during the second week of the year 2003.
