Tire date code: where it appears according to Michelin
Michelin includes the date code in the tire's TIN, but the available information does not detail how to locate or interpret it.
Key points
Michelin places the tire date code within the TIN. The available information does not explain how to locate it, interpret its digits, or assess the tire's condition and replacement timing.
What can be confirmed about the code
Michelin places the tire date code within the TIN (Tyre Identification Number), alongside other markings. This confirms it is part of that identifier, but the available information does not detail how to physically locate it or how to interpret its digits.
The manufacturing date, by itself, does not allow determining the tire's condition or history with the available evidence. There are also no criteria here to assess those aspects or support establishing a universal age limit for replacement.

What cannot be deduced from the date alone
The confirmed data is that the date code is part of the TIN. The available information does not allow converting that data into an assessment of the condition or a decision on when to replace the tire.
