What are the production date codes? Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Interesting. I currently have 3 sets of R888. Set 1 I got about a year ago and are used up, but I still have them. Set 2 I got early this year and I am still racing on them Set 3 I just picked up a week ago. I guess I will compare all 3 to see if there is any difference. Quote

The last 4 digits indicate when they were made. 0407 = 4th week of '07 Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I have date codes from all over on those 3 sets. No difference in the tires that I could see. Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Ok, I finally got pictures. Here are my 3 sets of R888's which represent a wide range of dates. I don't notice anything different. New, part used, worn. Data Codes Old Worn = 34th week, 07 - Purchased Spring 2008, Used Sept 2008-March 09 (worn after 14 heat cycles) Used = 30th week , 08 - Purchased Jan 2009 , Used Jan 2009- Current (pics taked after 10 HC) New = 08th week , 09 - Purchased April 2009, Used once May 2009 All 3 Stacked up next to each other. The new 08 - 09 tires next to the 34 - 07 tires The used 30 - 08 tires next to the 08 -09 tires Quote
