Q: suddenly without warning tjoines@gmail.com exclaimed 06-oct-05 1030 pm i work at the tire rack and saw this post. i am very glad to hear your experience went well and appreciate the recommendations from others. the age of the tire is determined by the last 6 digits of the dot number stamped on the sidewall near the bead. 2 digits tell the week in which the tire was produced and the last 4 tell the year. hear are two articles on our website that explain this fully reading the sidewall http//www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsptechid=33 determining the age http//www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsptechid=11 i hope this helps tim tim thanks for this info. im always happy to pass on recommendations when i find a good company especially online - when one is posted overseas as i am internet commerce has become more of a necessity than a nice-to-have. and not everyone ships to apo addresses! i did poke around in tirerack.coms very informative articles guess i missed those two - thanks! jmc .

on 6 oct 2005 110851 -0700 ad absurdum per aspera jtchew@california.com wrote okay it sounds as though you dont need an lt tire and arent too concerned about either major ruggedness or serious sand/mud traction. the question is since we dont know where you live or whether unplowed roads or icing are much involved are you better served by a second set of dedicated winter tires or an all-season compromise at minimum the all season tire. i wouldnt consider less than that. you may wish to check out the ratings and the decision guide on tirerack.com -- they have some interestng prospects in both those areas. thanks. .
