One side of the tire will have something like DOT 2616, this means the tire was made the 26th week of 2016.

Some tires (Toyo/Nitto are two) may have a leading 5th digit that can be disregarded.

I love the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's I have on my 2001 S, but they were a bit pricey...

They stick like glue wet or dry.
