Exclamation 99 Accord Tire Question (No DOT #)

I bought a used 99 Honda Accord LX about almost 5 years ago. I have been considering replacing the tires but can't find the DOT code anywhere on the tire. They are Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE tires. I've attached a few pictures.
The closest numbers I can find are Radial Design 0014 and underneath that it says 32756-2 R-18800. I've looked everywhere on the tire but nothing with DOT & a number. Any ideas? Please help!

Who cares? What you want is the SIZE.
Look for something that looks like this...

195/65 - R15

Maybe the tires were retreads and they didn't use a DOT approved tire mold to retread them...

Ang, they don't retread passenger tires. That's old news.

Like Jim said, size is all that matters. 195/65/R15 89H is the stock tires size and load for the 98-02 Accords.

Well, there's different sizes for different models, right? At least the V-6 cars?
He just said it's a 99, but didn't say whether it's a V-6 engine, or what.

For the size, he can look at the sticker probably in the driver's door jamb.

No, the sizes are the same throughout. Load designation is the same as well, I believe. All 98-02 Accords had 15x6.5in wheels and a 195/65/R15 tire, alloy and steel wheels.

99 V6 actually uses 205/65-15, as per tirerack

The size of the tire is in the third picture he posted though 195/65-R15
