Tire Identification Number (TIN)

The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire

however the date code may only be on one side. Tires

with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including

date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.

Look for the TIN on the outboard side of black sidewall

tiresas mounted on thevehicle. If the TINis not found on

the outboardsidethenyouwill find it on the inboardside

of the tire.

EXAMPLE:

DOT MA L9 ABCD 0301

DOT = Department of Transportation

—This symbol certifies that the tire is in compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation tire

safety standards, and is approved for highway use.

MA = Code representing the tire manufacturing location.(2 digits)

L9 = Code representing the tire size.(2 digits)

ABCD = Code used by tire manufacturer.(1 to 4 digits)

03 = Number representing the week in which the tire was manufactured.(2 digits)

—03 means the 3rd week.

01 = Number representing the year in which the tire was manufactured.(2 digits)

—01 means the year 2001.

—Prior to July 2000, tire manufacturers were only required to have 1 number to represent the year in

which the tire was manufactured. Example: 031 could represent the 3rd week of 1981 or 1991.
