ST tire date codes?
Well,
I just bought a new replacement tire for our boat from America's Tire. The brand is a Hartland ST...with a mfg date code of 1215, or Dec 2015.

Am I missing something?

12 is the week of the year, not the month and 15 is the year. So that tire was made in the middle of March.

And older date codes are 3 numbers with the last one being the year. But I forgot when they switched from 3 to 4?
