Then your not looking in the right place.  
My 07 FJ rear spare tire says 1307, so I guess it was put on the truck shortly after its production.  
This is good to know when buying tires for a “deal”

Hmm, i personally don’t think this effects anyone who drives a 240.  
I mean c’mon we change our tires every what? 3 weeks lmaoo? I know some of the guys i see once in a while are running a different set of tires and/or rims each time lmao.

Not to mention majority of our tires are burnt off at the track.
