I have a Dunlop Sportmax Q2 up front and a Metzeler Z6 in back on my '07 FZ6 purchased used in February 2013.
My mechanic at the time noted that the Metzeler was old -- the DOT number is 3908, so it's at least 5 years old and looking worn (see attached).

I thought the Dunlop was pretty old too -- possibly OE. But now I'm not too sure. Check the photos below.

I couldn't tell, but the DOT number on that tire appears to be 2111 - making it about 2 years old. The tread is definitely better than the Metzeler, but I swore the Dunlop was just as old.
Am I reading the wrong number?
