I believe there are many tires that were purpose built for theatre and did not need a DOT code. I noticed that 2 of my tires did not have one on the outside wall but did on the inside, so the DOT code is only on one side of the tire. If you can't find it on either side, perhaps it was never built for DOT specs?
I WILL LOOK ON OTHER SIDE TOMORROW THANKS
These are the first Goodyear tires ive had and i looked at all 4 on the trailer looking for a serial number . Iooked around the bead and where the the sise is printed and i had read about the 4 digits first 2 the week second 2 the year so i will look again today whats the chances they are all 4 turned to the inside! Thanks
Dot numbers should always face outwards
when your looking at a mvt where are you finding it ln conjuntionton to the tire sise or the mvt on the sidewall? Near the the rim of middle of tire ?
Ok great maybe i just missed it will look in just a few Thanks again!

Well thanks for all the help ! In normal fashion(The hard way) every tire on the trailer the date code was turned to the inside but the good thing they were all the same year as the trailer so i own at least 4 tires made in the last 10 year now i need 2 more mvt 395/85/20 made in the last 5 yrs if anybody has a sorce for them let me know and i will put them on the steer and these tires on the drives .

If I am not mistaken, chucky has a single axle version of that trailer.
That one above is a M1095 Believe the single is a M1082
I have wanted one since the first one i saw but i could never seem to find one and when i did they would want 5 or 6 grand which i wasnt going to pay then i stumbled on this the end of last week 150 mi from home for 2 grand i said hell yea tits still on the tires and the top is perfect so saturday i brought it home and pressure washed it and now i have to order more paint !
Yes young man you are correct i now have a camo 1082 for sale if you need one of those ?

Can you still tow that with your overhang?
And while we're at it, you stole that trailer so you should return it.

Holy Crap chucky !
If you happen to figure out that the M1095 won't "tow" behind your truck, I would like to have "first right of refusal" if you decide to unload it. Would have thought though that you already have a M1082, so that shouldn't be an issue. Right?

No at the moment i sold the only trailer i could pull with the truck was my 989a1 but my plan all along was to get a 1082 or 1095 and make a adjustable length telescopic beam tounge on which ever trailer i went with and use big slide pins and box beam heavy wall like a log trailer to slide in itself to colapse it or extend it out to 4 or 5 feet so the box/ top on the trailer wont get into each other like ditch crossings kind of articulation is my plan and just to make more work i think im going to do it to a 1082 and the 1095 both for what ever i need it to do for the trip and sale my other 1082
