It will be four digits, a tire built today would be 3112 that means it was built in the 31st week of 2012. If your tire says 3006 then it just turned 6 and its gotta go.
    Are you serious man? Cause I'll start freaking out ...

    You'd think such a regulation might be included in the FMCSA regs on tires (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...spx?reg=393.75). Clearly though, the FMCSA has decided (for the obvious purpose of revenue generation) to hide it in another section, probably in the same place as the regs on white sheets, ping pong balls and U.S. Marshals... foiled again!

    And don't forget the "I get 15 minutes to catch up my log book" rule. That has to be in the same section.

    I am still looking for those regs too. Maybe Elvis and Hoffa can help us find them.

    I know some recap companies will not accept over a certain year tire. Probably the basis for the rumor.

    Yeah, call a tire shop in Banning California, ask how many perfectly good tires they pull from trucks specifically because of age.

    One year of trucking in Alabama or Indiana doesnt qualify you to comment about what a driver can be cited for. My 22 years of having trucks pass through the Banning supercoop have afforded me a little first hand knowledge of "officer discretion" and I can tell you that ANY tire over 6 years old will get you shut down at Banning.

    Just trying to keep the guy from sitting at a scale while he forks over $8K for a set of tires.

    You drivers keep believing that CHP needs an FMCSA regulation to cite and red tag a driver and I will keep laughing at all of you fools camped out at that scale for a week.

    Its funny how you want to run 6 year old tires but in a year and a half you wont even be able to run a six year old truck in California. Good luck with your 47 state operation, you probably didnt need the ninth largest economy in the world anyway.

    BTW, CHP got the six year rule from the Rubber Manufacturers Association. They claim that is the useful life of a tire.
