No DOT Code

[carloshal]

Any Tyre experts out there? On my 2014 motorhome that has done 25k miles I have Michelin Agilis tyres. 2 at front must have been replaced as dated 2018 via DOT code, however rear 4 have no DOT code at all, checked inner and outer and nothing, the only thing that comes close is as the photo! Could they be the original? still a good 6mm left on them. Anybody got a clue?

There will be one somewhere, they have been around since well before 2012.

Checked both sides and there's none thus raised the post as find it bizarre. Suspect the date is 20th week of 2012 but format isn't the norm and tyre wear is minimal if original tyres unless these tyres are as hard as hell!

Are they actually an European/UK E marked tyre, or some sort of imported tyre ?

Some Japanese tyres (like our Toyota Proxes) contain the code on the end of a string of numbers, rather than in a separate ‘bubble’. That may be the case with yours.
This is our recent tyre (dirty wheel, but tyre fitting lubricant is visible!) from the string of 21770624 the date code is 0624, June 2024.

0624 would be February (week 6) 2024.

I would agree on the dating, so high time to change them!
