Decoding a Firestone Wide Oval
Long ago someone posted instructions on how to decode the date info on Firestone tires.
Any help would be fantastic! Dan

Re: Decoding a Firestone Wide Oval
I have been told that pre 1971 could not be decoded? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Decoding a Firestone Wide Oval
My brother works for Firestone, he took a look at some old pre-DOT Tire Markings the other day and said it looked like plant codes and or mold revision numbers. He said he would see if he could get an answer from "The Gumdippers" (retired plant engineers)
