Is there any way I can tell the age of tires from any of the print on them? I bought a 1997 TT that was not used a lot according to the previous owners. The tires look new and there is no weather checking but I realize time is a factor in tire reliability.
Just looking for an answer to find out if there is a way to tell the age. Not looking for "better safe than sorry"¯ comments as I already will change them if I can't determine the age.

Check the sidewalls for a 4-digit date code XXYY where XX is the week of the year and YY is the last 2 digits of the year of manufacture. More information HERE.
If the tires have a 3 digit date code, they were manufactured before mid-2000 and really should be replaced.
