Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

In a "previous life", I sold tires for awhile, (a Major National Brand), and some of the tires we sold were 5 years old before they ever touched the pavement.

We bought tires last Oct. for the MH.  While doing the research we discovered how to tell the birthday of the tires.  When we bought they were less than 4 monthe old.  Get the data first.

Here's some help. Note after 2000 the date code is 4 digits and is coded as week number XX, year number YY. Prior to 2000 it is 3 digits and these tires should not still be on your vehicle. In this example the tire was made 3 week of 2004.
