All I could get confirmed from a GY person was that it was after 2000.

Hi, my 2005 Safari, made in 2004, has Marathons made in Canada and the newer ones [I don't know what date] are made in China and have a sidewall rib with wear markers on the side; I would call that a design change and that was definately after 2005. I would tend to believe that Canadian and Chineese tires are not made exactly the same.
