That's a pretty interesting story. I just bought by Toyo's a couple of months ago so I decided to go take a look for the date, but like the story stated I couldn't find mine on the outside of the tire. Must be on the inward side. Oh well, my tires don't last that long anyways!!!LOL
Wow, I knew a tire dries out but never thought about how old one can be at the time of purchase. That's crazy.
