How to Verify the Date of Trailer Tire Manufacture

Question

Question:

Hi. I recently had two newinch tires blow out on my trailer. While they were new from the dealer, the date code indicates they were manufactured in 2009, so they were already 5 years old. How can I verify the date of manufacture on these tires prior to ordering? Thanks.

Tire stock age will vary based on tire size. The more popular a tire is the quicker our inventory will turn over and the newer a tire will be when we ship it.

I went to our warehouse to check the date code on our current inventory of the trailer tire you referenced, part # AM10235. According to the date code on our current stock of part # AM10235 the tires are about 11 months old.

Our customer service representatives will be able to verify the date of the trailer tires you want before ordering.

No, the speed rating on trailer tire #AM10235 does not have a duration it can run at speed. The rating is given based on the construction but also other factors as well. The assumption is that you would creep over 81 miles an hour from time to time.…
