Default Tire Date Codes

In another thread, a poster wondered how old his tires actually were - how long have they been sitting in a warehouse before they were delivered.

All motorcycle tires have a date code that shows when they were manufactured. It is a four digit number, the first two numbers show the week of the year (01 - 52) and the second two numbers indicate the year (04 = 2004).
