Okay fellow RVFers, let's participate in a thread that will help all of us learn about our tires and when they were manufactured and when you may want to change them out for new. First thing is how to get your tire manufacture date via the DOT four digit imprint on your tire. In short the first two digits of the four digit DOT number is the week number, the second two digits is the year.
To kick off this thread here are the dates on my tires to help my awareness and hope you will contribute as well for your safety.
2017 Newmar Ventana - in service date June 5, 2017
Steer Axle:
Left: Unable to find DOT date
Right: 3216
Date I'll replace the steer axles will be 5 years from the known so that means 2021 for me in my 2017 coach.
Drive Axle:
Left: 4217
Right: 4217
I will go 7 years on my rear tires so all four will be replaced in 2024
Tag Axle:
Left: 1017
Right: Unable to find DOT date
