    @nightrider because everyone else uses 2 digits, and the rest wouldn't add any value but would require extra details in the mold.

    compare this to Continental, who use a circle split into quarters with dots in each quarter to give you the date. It's used for warranty claims, batch tracking, etc, not for the end user.
