Build date help
I need help in finding the build date on this tire. Owner told me it was the OEM tires from a 2001 ZO6. Usually it's in a circle but the only thing that looks like a build date on these tires are the numbers 027906. Thanks for anyone's help.

The tire build date is a 4-digit value where the first two digits are a week number and the last two digits will be the year the tire was made. So a code like 2818 means that the tire was made during the 28th week of 2018. Tires that have a directional tread usually will have the date code on the inside sidewall so you need to pull the wheel off the car or crawl behind the tire to look for the code. The Tire Rack website has a nice write-up on date codes.
