Title: Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyre manufacture dates.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 30 August 2016, 12:41:58
I find this quite strange.

I can clearly see the date of manufacture for both tyres on the drivers side.

Front.......0316
Rear.......1316

However, both tyres on the passenger side of the car (also Sport Maxx) have no date stamp on the tyre wall.

All four rotational arrows are correct.

I can clearly see the date stamp on all four tyres on the mighty Signum.

Any idea's chaps?

Are they marked Inside or Outside?

Suspect a return trip to the dealer might ensue :-X

Nothing wrong with those 2 date stamps, the missing two however couldmean the tyres weren't destined for the uk and someone somewhere has bought some shady stock?!...

Could be a possibility.

How about the previous owner always parked against a kerb and due to lousy parking the tyre has rubbed up against the kerb and worn the markings away  :-\ As its passenger side and the side you would usually park on  :-\

But what about the rest of the markings? :)

When they welded the two cars together for your 'Cut n Shut' Jag, they obviously did it straight down the middle lengthways rather than the traditional approach of welding a front end to a back end!  :)

Have a look under the passenger side front seat carpet and you might find the holes for pedals under there, where they used a LHD Jag for the near side piece of the car.  :D 

I don't think there is a requirement for date stamps on tyres in Albania!  :-\  :D  ;D

Albanian drug lords are very fond of a black Jag.

I'll check the boot for a bullet-riddled body. :)

Possibly from different factories, so date stamps are in different places/format.

Its well known that Dunlop manufacture them is several contries, and some are better than others.
