I wouldn't worry too much, as long as the rubber isn't dry-rotted you are ok.  My father bought a utility trailer in '88 and it had the same tires on it until we rebuilt it last year.]]> Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:17:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1623&PID=13786#13786 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1623&PID=13777#13777 Author: Pawpod

Came across something very disturbing! Tires have a expiry date!!!
If you look on your sidewalks, you'll see eather a 4 digit or 3 digit number in a circle.
In the 3 digit, the fist 2 numbers are the week the tire was made, and the last is the year before 2000. So 329 would be 39nth week of 1999.
For the 4 digit, the first 2 is the week, the last 2 is the year. So 4107 would be 41 first week of 2007.
Now for the cruncher! Tires expire after 6 years after their made!!! Regardless if they never been used!
Check your tires, please!]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:34:44 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1623&PID=13777#13777
