What date codes are on your Humvee tires?

[Milcommoguy]

Read lot of stories about tires. Many trucks / trailers came from auction with Goodyear Wranglers MT/R's, 37x12.50Rx16.5 LT, those big fat bad boys. How about sharing the date codes on those tires that your running from auction or surplus?
It's the 4 digits in the oval on one side like 2215. 22 = week, 15 year.

Got MT's ? What's on your HumV survey, CAMO

My M1123 had a 2009 rebuild and came with MTs with date codes of mid 2008. They were all out of round and some dry rot from sitting in the desert sun for a decade.
Currently the rear tires have 1108 and 1408 date codes from a trailer I bought, and the front tires are 4400, so older, but they were stored inside in the dark for the past 12-14 years, so they appear to be in better shape than the ones that I pulled off.

My 1993 M998 came with 95% tread M/Ts from 2001. Out of round and weather checked.
Replaced with a nice set of BFG Bajas from 2011 that had been balanced well by the previous owner

My truck had bias-ply tires and I think the date code was 2008.
I just shifted to Wrangler MT's. I don't think they were a whole lot newer. If this truck were a daily driver or highway runner, I wouldn't be using these tires. They have good tread, though.

2003. They look fine. They aren't out of round or weather checked. Drove from KS to GA and back on them. If they didn't pop then, they're probably ok.

Bought with 1803, 4805, 0410 and 0909 and 03 is looking a little dry rot. Thanks for doing the survey, it made me look at my tires a little closer.
