This is the front tire, the rear is the same.
That didn't come out to0 good. I'm going to have to learn to use photobucket or something so I can post hi-res pics.

Maybe you can get the idea though. Mind if I use the email ca200 and send it to you?

Popgun you can if you want but those colored strips on the tire have nothing to do with the tire it's self. You will notice they wear off pretty fast. Dunlop has done this for years. They really don't say what it is but I am sure it has something to do
with the way the tires moves as it is being made or something.
The important info is all on the sidewall. If a tire is recalled they always use the info from the # around the DOT numbers.
The important number to the consumer is the last 4 numbers at the end of the DOT #. That's the date code.
It is always the week and year it was made. so 4312 would be the 43ed week of 2012.
In our store we would never mount a tire more then 60 months old.
The other numbers before and after the DOT mark is a factory # and a production number

Thanks for that info, very informative.

I just happened to notice the stripes and was wondering what they were for.

Thanks

In a different forum, I discovered image shack is pretty useful and simple.
I'll try to get a thread going with instructions.

Thanks for the good info CA200
