Re: How to ID Original Wide Oval Tires vs Reproduction
That's true to a point,as beginning with 1968 production,the Dept.Of Transportation mandated all tires sold brand new in the USA,have plant/mold and date manufactured on them.
Earlier versions of these tires did not have to show a DOT as you said.
Notice it states USA too,as I have seen a few original 1970 vehicles sold new in Canada & Mexico w/tires that don't have a DOT..
1969 into 70 production appears to be the dividing line so far.
