WHAT IS A DOT CODE?

The DOT code is an alphanumeric code that appears on the sidewall of the tire. This code is sometimes referred to as a serial number. Mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation, it identifies where a tire was manufactured, specific characteristics about the tire and its age.

The code starts with the DOT designation, followed by a series of letters and numbers. Here's how to read it

Example Code: DOT H2U1 YC7L 3805

H2

Manufacturing Plant

  • H2: identifies the plant that manufactured the tire.
U1

YC7L
