Great information, I wish I would have learned that back in my truck driving days! Better late than never!

I cant find the date on my trailer tires? do some not have dates?

[TeamAllen]

Did you try the inside of the tire?

[JGR]

Great info, thanks

[fleetpaint]

yes, no luck! my tires are freestyles. I dont even see a mfg.
The tire are getting old & cracking. Time for a whole new set. What is the brand of choice?

[da.bell]

anything besides Carlilse (sp?)

I found the mfg. date on the tires this morning! when I looked last night the dates were not there! (could have been the 10 coors lights!)

any idea why my left rear tire is bald on the inside? all other tires are fine.

Loose bearings. May just need an alignment shim to add a little positive camber.

How long ago did you replace the tires before I bought the boat?

Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to check.


Remember the Carlisle tires that went bad on so many Extreme trailers in 2002? (I had them) Never knew you could find a date on them.

The dates are there. just keep looking. They have to be on it by law. Check the inside of the tire. they only have to be on one side of the tire not both.

I just got a new (2010) Navigator. I was currious and checked the tires. They were made this year, but the code was not there. In it's place was the actual year (2009).



Maybe they are moving away from the archaic code thing.

[chpthril]

The down side to just showing the year......is it made in January or December?

The Julien (sp?) date system at least tells what day of the year it was made.
