Finally! I got a reply from Continental about manufacture date. In fairness, the guy said there was a system glitch and my email took a long time to get through. He has been very prompt to reply with my follow ups.


Hmm, I'm trying to copy portions of the email so readers can see the actual response. It won't let me copy or I am doing something wrong.

Ok, well to sum it up, Oak you were right about the circle and number just outside of it.

He said on the sidewall there is a pie chart divided into quarters and a number bottom right of it. The small dots within the quadrants represent the months (Jan through Dec) and the single digit bottom right represents the year.

I've been riding these tires for a couple of weeks now. They are nice!
