I’ve been running my 82 Gl1100 all summer with the tires that came on the bike, almost 1,000 miles. The tires are Dunlop’s. A friend ask me how many years old the tires are, I hadn’t checked because they look like new tires. 4203 is the date mark. Should I keep running these or get new ones?

o_Oo_Oo_O Get rid of those things!!! Jeeeze, they're almost 20 years old!!! You've been really lucky one of them hasn't come apart yet.
 
your bike will handle sooo much better with new rubber,not to mention the safety factor.
