Default Decoding tire date
I think I need tires from what I think the tire date is. My deciphering skills tell me these tires are dated the 45th week of 2001. Here's the DOT# ANUUNX 714501
Experts, what say you? Thanks

You are correct
Last 4 of DOT code = date
first 2 = week
last 2 = year

SORRY BUT THEY ARE WAY OVERDUE FOR NEW. 10 yrs max.
