There is a 4 digit date code on the sidewall, the last two digits are the year of manufacture, and the first two digits are the week of that year. Either way, it's unsafe to be riding around on a front tire with 13 psi.

lol... the tire says 1502
so it looks like these where the tires that came on the bike when it was sold? tons of tread and the bike only has 7k miles on it. but i have had it for a little over a month now ive put a good 600 miles on it since i got it.
