How to Read Date Code on Trailer Tire to Determine Age

Question:

I have a set of hi run tires on my travel trailer. I cant find any place where my codes tell me the age of the tire. I show DOT 0J 20 FB1. How old is my tire?

The DOT date code on a tire is 4 numbers. The first 2 are the week and the last 2 are the year. So for example if it was 2314 that means that tire was made in the 23rd week of 2014.

Based on what you listed I do not believe that is the date code. Look for a 4 digit code of all numbers instead.
