Tire date code

slantsixdan said
This tire's date code is the last four digits following "DOT"; it was made on April 2, 2002

42nd work week in 2002
Per the NHTSA info.

That would make it

Oct 14 - Oct 20 2002

Now if you need rollers maybe they would be ok.

BUT...

Do you really want to risk destroying you car with an old tire?

500 to 600 for tires or 5000 to 10,00 for body work if you keep it upright!
