What are we looking at?
It's molded into the sidewall. Skip it if you can't find it — Burt can figure it out later.
The penny test
Lincoln goes in head first. If the top of his head is showing, you're at or below 2/32nds — legally worn out and dangerous in rain.
The DOT date
The last four digits after "DOT" are the build week and year. Trailer and tractor tires usually age out around five years, long before the tread runs out.
The wear pattern
Center wear means over-inflation, edge wear means under-inflation, cupping means worn shocks, and feathering means the toe is out.
