Default date code on GY F1 SC ???????

I'm looking for the date code on my tires. I can't find a 4 didgit code anywhere, at least on the outside sidewall of the tire.

The only numbers I found were 027906 on the rears and 027907 on the front. These were raised numbers, not stamped like on my other cars.

So, where's the code if that's not it?
If it is the date code, how do you decipher it?

When I locates mine, they were only on one sidewall of the tire, not both.

On my directional tires, one side of the car the code is on the inside tire wall and on the other side of the car they are on the outside of the tire wall. If I remember correctly, just after the DOT mark.

I also read that the four digit code is only for tires manufactured after 2000, I believe there was another code for pre-2000 tires.

Good luck...
