CM-070125 DOT Date Codes

Description

Unlock the secrets hidden on your tire sidewall with the DOT number—your tire’s unique “fingerprint.” This code, required by the Department of Transportation, reveals essential details about where and when your tire was made. The final four digits tell you the exact week and year of manufacture, helping you instantly determine your tire’s age. Since tires degrade over time, knowing this date is key to preventing safety risks like blowouts or tread separation. Whether you’re buying new or used tires, checking the DOT code ensures you’re getting fresh, reliable products—not rubber that’s been aging in storage. Stay informed, stay safe, and trust the DOT number to guide smarter tire decisions.
