Title: Tyres "Date of Manufacture"
Post by: StinkyPete on January 29, 2020, 05:29:03 PM

This might be old knowledge for many, but I've just found out that there is a code on motorcycle tyres which indicates the week and year of manufacture.   Have a look at the image of the sidewall marking on my rear Pirelli Angel.   The oval with the numbers 0819 indicate that the tyre was manufactured in the 8th week of 2019.
(Corrected my error)

Ummm..not quite correct...the first 2 digits refer to the week of manufacture not month..so 0819 is the 8th week of 2019 so just a little older..

Thanks for the correction.  I knew that, but in my haste to share new knowledge mucked up my post.    :-[

Thanks for sharing. A good point to keep in mind if buying a 2nd hand bike.

All motor vehicle tyres have the same date code provided they are post 2000, pre 2k is a different code
