Every tire has a code across the outside wall. The last four numbers explain the week and year of manufacture, for example 4206 tell you that tire was made the 42nd week of 2006. Another example is an tire from the 1990's only has 3 numbers so it would look like this 238 that tells you the tire was made the 23rd week of 1998. Tires should be not be used if they are more than 6 years old.
