Indeed so - thats the tyre manufacture date and they say "Pilot Power: week numbers 2704 to 0406 inclusive" ..... Last time I did maths 0206 was between the two numbers given above

just to throw a spanner in the works,, the numbers not between if in desending order!

phoned today and reg with them ive got 1206 and it is one they want back
they ask where you want the tyre fitted and let you know when its on its way free of charge
also advise not to go above 70mph as a safety warning

Not got hold of them yet. Getting home late i can't get through and don't get free 0800 calls on mobby so not talking for an hour to them on it. Will be cheaper to buy a new tyre.

Been to a garage and they said call them as unsure exactly what they are doing yet.

Apparently people are getting vibration from the front end to. Had this wheel balanced twice now with this tyre on trying to get rid of a vibe. Only over a ton though

Now i know why

I see what you mean. Mine says 1006 so thats the 10th month of 2006?

I'll phone them.

Ask if you can use your works phone at lunch time. Sure they won't mind if it's free phone.

On the road all day so a bit difficult. Got home at 630 to night and still no use. Well this time they said unable to connect you. Then phone was stuck on thier line for over half hour. Couldn't do anything with phone. Gave me some peace for half hour from the sales men

But now confused about numbers. Mike in your theroy 2704 would mean 27th month of 2004

My 0206 doesn't fit their criterier but i will try anyhow at some point

That's what I thought Moosey ment.

I recon it's if your number is one of those numbers or falls between them. They haven't exactly been obvoius have they? French

I think it's week and year, i.e. 2706 would be 27th week of 06

That makes sense. Mine 2CT is 1006 so that would be 10th week in 2006.

Better phone them tommorow me thinks

My tyre number is 2206, I called Michelin, they took my details and where I got it fitted. They said they would send a replacement and I would get a call when it arrived to have it fitted, no cost.
Will keep you posted.

Got mine sorted today to

Will take a couple of weeks and they will send tyre to a chosen fitter of my choice and will call me with a code i need to produce when i get it fitted.

Happy as larry as tyre is well worn.

Oh and the women at Michelin sounded lush and she was a biker to.

Think i was in there

Yep mines sorted. 2 weeks for 2CT but hey, it's free

Got an old tyre with enough tread on that I'm gonna bung on as michilin said not to use the bike.
