The last 4 digits after the DOT stamp ... the first two are the week while the last two are the year

You bet ... I just bought a set of used tires that had almost no tread wear, and I was sure to check the date code (just a few years old).

I forgot to mention that the DOT stamp is usually (always?) only on one side, and that's likely the "inside" sidewall, so you have to crawl underneath or pop the wheel off the car to find it.

Last fall I bought a pair of ET Drags from Jegs. One was dated 7-09 and the other one 4-11. They were very good as far as swapping them out for 2 new ones dated 9-11.
