How do you get a razor blade in your tire?

If you mean that you found one inside your tire and are wondering how it got there, it was probably dropped inside and forgotten by the last technician that had your tire dismounted. It was probably used to cut a plug to repair a puncture. If you mean that you want to know how to put one inside, then you have to dismount the tire from the rim (or at least deflate the tire and push a portion of the tire bead off of the rim) and insert the blade. Not sure why anyone would want to, but to each, his own. If you mean that there was a razor blade embedded in the rubber, either you ran over it, or someone else stuck it there to sabotage your tire, or it may have been embedded during the tire's manufacture. If you suspect the latter (manufacture defect) you should contact the tire dealer that sold it to you and demand replacement.

There are a series of numbers printed on the sidewall of the tire, just above the bead area.

The side with the most numbers", will tell you the manufacture date. The last 4 numbers are the date recorded as week and year.
