Just making sure this is a repop tire.

CYUYB3EX240 is the date code. Has DOT to the left of that.

Also trying to date a YH ralley wheel. Car is a March Z. Original wheel is in the trunk and I can't read the final digit. It is Feb 2, 21 or 27. Can someone tell me if one or more of those are known good dates. I think it is Feb 2, but my eyes keep wanting to see a second digit in the day code side.
Lynn,


Around May of 71 DOT introduced 11 character coding. The last three digits (two for the week and last for year)your example; week= 24th and 0 =year 1980 or 90. In 2000 they went to a 12 digit coding. Two for month and two for year 2211 = 22 week of 2011
