: Digging tells me pre-2000 (I knew
: that), so that puts them either at 1992
: or 1982...Likely 92. I'm replacing them
: anyway, although they show no signs of
: aging so they work for now (aside from
: wear down to the wear-bars). Been
: garaged the entire time it's been off
: the road.

: stamp, usually following one or two
: other codes,the first 2 numbers are the
: week, the last 2 are the year.

: 10th week of 2012.
