    Metzeler date codes

    Can anyone tell me how to read the date codes on Metzeler tires? My rear has a stamp DOT EB1P BPH048 and the front is DOT EB5U BPW 043

    Thanks,

        Dave,

        Thanks for the info. I found it on Metzeler's website after I posted the question. I guess the answer is that they are TOO OLD!


        Ryan,

        I did know they were old so I wasn't pushing too hard. There'll be new skins on it next year so I can pick it up a notch. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up!

          Considering the importance of tire condition, I would not ride on tires over three years old and I prefer to ride on tires no older than one year.
