thanks,
from Michelin's website:
DOT Markings
Essentially the DOT marking serves as the tire's fingerprint. DOT signifies that the tire complies with U.S. Department of Transportation Tire Safety Standards, and is permitted for highway use. For example refer to the following markings: DOT M5H3 459X 064. The first letter and number following DOT designate the tire's manufacturer and plant code. The third, fourth and fifth number and letter, 59X, is the tire size code which is an optional manufacturers code that identifies the tire size and other specific characteristics of the tire. The final three numbers denote when the tire was produced, with the first two indicating the week, and the last number indicating the year (064 indicates the tire was built in the 6th week of 1994).
so with your tire, others (e.g., myself) should have Primacy tires with
*T*A FJDX ****
if we also have F*8* **** 0102
then our tires were manufactured at the same plant the same week
I don't have my car at work today, I'll find out later if I should worry :(
