front tire size

<< < (3/3)

Thunderbolt:
Larue that was the original manufacturer and size on the Valkyrie.  To my knowledge they quit making those and went to the Elite then the Elite 3 back about 10 years or so ago.  I would not buy that one unless I knew for sure the date code on the tire.  Too old, all tires now have a 4 digit code on them in a rectangle on one side of the tire.  A code like DOT 0409 in that rectangle would tell you that it was made in the 4th week of 2009.  I always check this code if possible. 

larue:
hello Terry, i see 2 codes one is white like ink  # 3868 the othere one is part of the tire 3604, there is also a sticker that D206 ELITE 150/80 17 FRONT. ANY IDEA??

John Schmidt:
Sounds like it might be nine years old. I wouldn't go for it, that's just over cautious me talking.  ;)

Thunderbolt:
Are the letters "DOT" before the 3604?  If so it is the 36th week of 2004.  Like John said 9 years old.  I wouldn't buy it, rubber ages just sitting on the shelf in a warehouse somewhere.  This applies to your Car and Truck tires also.  I always check the dates on all of them and especially my RV tires.

larue:
Thanks guys
