Tyre DOT Number

[edition]

Hi,

Just wanting to buy some tyres and wondering if a DOT number of 3401 means that they are pretty old.....


Am I right in thinking that that means they were made in July 2001?


Any help would be great!

That's certainly my interpretation.

Yep, 10 year old tyres. Avoid.

No good..... Expected like of a tyre is five years.
