I'm trying to find out how old my tyres are. I've been reading how to ready the codes but struggling on my Potenza re040's. Can any one post a pic of theirs who understands how to ready it so I can follow suit? Pleeaase.

Have you checked both inner and outer tyre walls? Date stamps are typically only on one side and not necessarily the outer sidewall.
