Avon tires

[TKM]

Bought a set Avons for the bike ,after bringing them into Canada and experiencing a officious border guard's threat to impound my truck over a $5.00 discrepancy in the bill and what i claimed Congratulations inspector, Queen and country is proud of you to-day
My question is where do i look for date of manufacture on Avon tires ,rolled it around a few times i see 2712 is that 271 day and the 12 year ?

Should be 27th week of 2012 (first week or so of July).
