Question

Answer
Norma,

I am not sure what question you are asking, but it sounds like you want to locate the last owner of a particular tire based on its serial number.  That is just not enough information.

First let me explain how to read a DOT number.

First locate the letters "DOT" on the sidewall of the tire.  Nearby will be the DOT code.  DOT codes are 10 to 12 digits long.  BTW the digits can be numbers or letters.

The first 2 digits are a code for the manufacturing plant.  

The next 2 digits are a code for the tire size.  

The next 3 or 4 digits are a code for the type of tire.  

The last 3 or 4 digits are the date code.  The format is week/week/year/year or week/week/year.  These are always numbers.

Starting in the year 2000, the date coding used was 4 digits.  That means the largest number you should see for the year code is 09.  Before 1999 the format was 3 digits.  1999 and 2000 are transition years, so you will find both 3 and 4 digits.

The date code only has to be on one side – and it is permissible for there to be a partial DOT code, so long as one side has the complete code.

So while I can tell you where the tire was made and perhaps its size, I can only pinpoint the date of manufacture to within a week - and literally thousand of tires could have been made that week.
