Typical DOT code for HMMWV tire

[cranetruck]

Looking for tire info, what is the typical DOT code for a Goodyear humvee tire? Sample from TM shown below.
Thanks

I have a picture of a fresh MT radial with the following:

A10R DOT MJ9F NEWV 1R07 (or it is 1007 on the last part)


I hope this helps.

Thanks, I only wanted to confirm that they were made by Goodyear in Topeka, KS.....and that seems to be the case.

Should be 1007.
Tenth week of 2007 or did they change to the 100th day of 07 format?

For those of you who are interested in knowing where your tires came from, a listing of DOT codes can be found at:
http://www.harriger.com/tires.htm

The last four digits of the USDOT Tire Code are the week and year (upgraded from the old three digit week and year code that was used until the mid-ninetees...).

To quote the NTHSA website:
"U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number
This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion."

Enjoy.

ok, curiousity is killing me... what is the interest in the Topeka plant?

None, really, read about the humvee tires and wanted confirmation from the tire markings about the place of origin.

..... For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997....

Never seen 4 digits in that oval before 2K. They used just 3 and to know it was made in the nineties and not eighties they had a little triangle added at the end.
So that particular date would appear as 317<. (10 years later it would be 3107).

Bjorn I know this is 8 years old but I go by that place on my way to Ft Riley didn't know about the HMMWV tires as their lot is stacked full of the giant earth mover Euclid tire which are shipped over wide
