How Old Are Your Tires?
Want to know how to figure out when your tires were manufactured? Watch this video and I’ll show you how to read tire date codes.
Last weekend I was at the track and didn’t do very well because I couldn’t get any traction. It got me to thinking how old my tires were so I decided to check the dates and make a video about it.
Looks like my tires aren’t that old so I’ll have to look for another possible reason I wasn’t getting any traction. I think I’ll start with the biggest set of drag radials I can stuff in the rear wheel wells. If that doesn’t get it to hook up, it’ll be time to start tweaking the suspension.
Wish me luck.
Thanks for watching!
