NEW TIRES PURCHASED IN 2018 DO NOT HAVE STANDARD DOT CODE FOR DATE OF MANUFACTURE. THE CODE IS PRINTED ON THE IRE AS" CCH7..K1710U-1. THE TIRES ARE YOKOHAMA S DRIVE. 205/55-R15. NO ONE SEEMS ABLE TO TELL ME THE MANUFACTURE DATE. THE TIRES ARE VISUALLY OK AND HAVE 4500 MILES ON THEM, BUT I AM CONCERNED AS TO HOW OLD THEY MAY BE, AND SHOULD THE RETAILER BE AWARE OF THE DOT CODE? CAN YOU DE-CODE THE MANUFACTURE DATE?
