Title: Where to find the date of manufacture on Toyo R888's?
Post by: luckyGti on January 12, 2012, 08:12:47 pm

I have a set of Toyo R888'sand I'm curious to find out what year and month they were produced, I have a feeling they aren't the same as regular tires which have 4 digits stating month and year.

Does anybody know?  :happy2:

Send them to me and I will find it for you, then fit them to my wheels and deliver them back to you via a couple of track days....

All tyres have the week and year of build on the side wall in an oval box mine are 48/11 so that week 48 of 2011 take a close look and you will see it mate

Thanks mate, I see the oval box and it says CN22311 so I presume that is the 23rd week 2011.
