My Carlisle Trailer tires have no DOT or Date number on them

[CHECrappie]

I started a thread about tires a few days ago. I have the original tires on my 2013 Triton and had read a few threads about tires breaking down even though the tread is in good shape. someone said there is a date manufactured on the tires so I've looked at both sides several times and cannot find the DOT number anywhere. I know they're at least 5 years old but would like to know the age. Any ideas?

I've looked at the tire over and over. I maybe blind but I just cant find it on either side of the tire.

Going to be there somewhere, keep looking.

Use a magnifying glass and look closely on the sidewall of the inner exterior.

Yep sometimes it’s really hard to find and often its only stamped on 1 side of the tire; but it has to be there

Here is what my Carlisle ended up looking like. It was a 3 yr old.

not molded in, usually melted in where there is a oval spot for it to be

The DOT numbers are very small if your tires are Carlisle Radial Trail RH. I think they are only on one side of the tire. The DOT numbers are positioned 180 degrees from the word Carlisle on that side of the tire. The date of manufacture is in a small circle with four numbers, two for month and two for year.
