Hello Glenn, thanks for reaching out. Every tire we sell will have a date code printed on the sidewall. Usually it will be a 4 digit number inside an oval. The first digits tell you the week and the second digits tell you the year. So for example if your date code said (1023) this means the tire was made in the 10th week of 2023.
If you can email me a picture of your tire I should be able to find the date code. The date code can be kind of small so make sure it is a good clear picture. If you just reply to the email that brought you to this page it will go straight to me and I am happy to take a look.
