You need the other numbers on the tyre...

That's not the date stamp. Look for a 4 digit number on the sidewall. Some tyres only have them on one side so it may be on the inner sidewall.

The first 2 digits are the week number, the second 2 are the year. So code 0712 means week 7 2012.

Any other codes

Sometimes they just put the plant code etc. which is what you're seeing there on one sidewall, and the full dot code including 4 digit date code on the other one for some reason, so try looking on the inside.

OK found another code. This looks like they might be end of 2002?

That doesn't seem like the right code either.
But, judging by the cracks I would say it's time to change.

Ah OK. I'll have a look on the inside if my last code doesn't help.

Oh they're old alright! And I'll be changing them. I'm just wondering if they're older than the Euro.
