Hi guys, I've got a spare tyre for my paso but I don't know if I can put it on the bike. The recent owner bought it five years ago.. To be sure I should know when the production date is. It should be on the tyre.. Anyone..?

Its in tire and there is month(2 digits) and 2 last numbers of year(2 digits). Its about 6-9mm high, so you find it surely...

it`s the DOT number. Although the question is if the tire was from the same year the last owner bought it in, I would not use a tire that is 5 years old. |

Got it, tx guys. Bad news is that the tyre is from '93.. and still 98% profile.. It looks allright though. Maybe try it on and see what happens

I guess that after 15 years those tyres have to be too hard... Ciao |

Hi yall I don't agree with you, regarding production date and Dot no. I have just last weekend replaced my front and rear tyre. My old front: Dot 0801 My old rear: Dot 2201 Then it can't be month and year but week and year. The old tires ran okay, but the front tyre hadn't the grip anymore, and in the end they were worn down. I have to say that the bike had stand still in about 5 years before i bought it 2 years ago. I have 2 complete sets of tires for 16" in spare - yes the right ones  - Dot 04, which I have bought in Italy recently. So it is still possible to find them. Don't expect to find them much newer.I maybe could be convinced to sell the one spare set

You are right, its week&year, not month&year.
