[QUOTE="RTSinDallass, post: 1445531, member: 97961"] Hi, I'm the happy new owner of a 2005. I started researching tires because of the "fresh meats" mentality myself. What I learned was there is a date code molded into the tire, just like car tires. It's in the oval with the year and week of the year it was made. I also learned that motorcycle tires have a manufacturer recommended 7-10 year shelf life if they’re stored correctly. My bike has Bridgestone BT-023's that are from late 2017 with only 3000 miles on them. So, I decided to run mine awhile longer. Here's a good video on the subject [MEDIA=youtube]WwbLt8vZH5w[/MEDIA] I would be concerned about running your front tire backwards. If the belts are directional, It could have caused heat build up and possible delamination. [/QUOTE]
