Am I loopy here, or does this DOT code not have the manufacture date?
I'm on the verge of replacing the tires on my dually (not cheap) and I wanted to see how old the current tires are. (The tread is ok, but I'm worried about the age. The truck is a 2016, though I only have about 46k miles.)
It really looks to me like the DOT code on these BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires don't have a manufacture date.
On the other side of the tire are two other codes, one COULD be 2012 (20th week of 2012), but that isn't anywhere near the DOT code, and that would also mean Ford sold me a new truck with 4 year old tires on it, which would not make me super happy.
Any ideas here?
