Want to See True Flat-Spotting Billboards?

Appears to be heavy ozone-related degradation. So the tires are a couple years young on the car, but what are the date codes?

Yep, I agree with post above. Nice looking tire, but meant to hit the track. Posting mainly because I know so many of us have Billboards, and just want folks aware.

Both front tires (the ones that blew) have D2546 on them. Rears are D2547. Just guessing that the last digits mean '06 and '07. So, I guess the clock is ticking. Nice!

I'm on my second set of these tires. I haven't been able to locate a date code on any of them. The two numbers you used, D2546 & D2547 are Goodyear part numbers.

I certainly don't like what's happened to your tires. When you posted they have been sitting on the car for a few years, are you stating the car hasn't been moved for several years?

Thanks,
David

No, car has been driven. Not as much as I like, but several times in the past 3 months. I parked it when I kept noticing the cracking. Some folks told me that "it's just cosmetic". Didn't buy that. Must have an angel on my shoulder.
