The date code is heat stamped on the side, it is 4 digits. The first two digits are the week of the year it was made, the last two are the year. ....
Also, the date code comes after "DOT" & some other markings on the tire.
My front tire has: DOT DK07 2AC * 0706
0706 is the date - the 7th week of 2006.

If you're unsure of how to read the date, contact the manufacturer. That's what I did.

They do have pretty good prices, but you do have to watch out for how old the tires are, as someone previously mentioned.

I bought a set for of S11's for my 550 honda last season and couldn't be happier!

I paid 120 shipped for both from motorcyclesuperstore.com.

The tires were less than a couple months old, handle very well, and still look brand new after 4k miles.

As promised here are my mount and balance tutorials in two parts.

Click the link for the mount thread.

And the link to the tire balance method.

Let me know if something doesn't make sense. Hope this helps.
