Tires: Date code Goodyear GT II, eagle gt, tire design


Question
Looking for help deciphering the date code on a set of Goodyear GT II?This is on the back, H17R DOT MKUU E3JR 298. Thanks in advance

Answer
Kevin,

The stuff before the letters "DOT" is something that I don't know what it is, but after the "DOT":

MK = the tire was made in Union City, Tennesse

UU = the tire is a P225/70R15 (I did this from memory, so I may gotten it wrong)

E3JR = the tire design and version - Eagle GT II - a guess on my part, but that is what is supposed to be there

298 = the date of manufacture - the 29th week of 1998 (or 1988, or 1978)
