    Ciao
    As I am replacing my tyres, I wander about the meaning of all the codes that you can see on the tyre's shoulder.
    I am not refering to the obvious ones (speed rating, dimensions, traction, etc.), but to those minor codes that identify the "grade" (first or second chioce), the number of identified defects, etc etc.
    Is anybody able to point me in the right direction on this?
    Thank all in advance
    Ciao
    Eugenio

    Malcom,
    Thank you for the info.
    What I would like to know is the meaning of the small numbers under "SPORT 6000" that are not explained...
    Steve,
    Thank you too.
    The link is really useful but again... those small numbers are not explained for.
    Ciao

    Also, does anyone have the link that shows how to read the manufacture date stamped on the side of the tire?
