I was looking over the 165/80/15 Kuhmo tires on my 75 1.8. Could they possibly be that old, or am I reading the date code wrong?
Correction: 165R 15 86T M+S, matching set of 4 tires.  |

Correction: 165R 15 86T M+S, matching set of 4 tires. no - not that old. at least as new as post -96 or 97 or newer. the E in the circle with the number is the european union regulatory marking. similar to a DOT code marking. it was introduced in 96 or 97 i think. the number that comes after it is its approval certificate under the E mark system. if there is a date code its somewhere else on the tyre. never trust a tyre past 10 years.
