Default Firestone Wide Oval Date Code

Can anyone decode the tire?

Thanks,
Dan

That is what I would call a 'short' Firestone code which, as far as I know, isn't de-codable. The longer, later codes can, at least, be determined by year.

Thanks Mark!

Do you have any original single spare originals laying around for a 1970 LT1 dated may of 1970?

Sorry...I don't. I have some Goodyear whitewalls for 69, 71 and 72.

I'll keep my eyes open.

I have 4 NOS Firestone F70-15. Seems like the dates are 1972, but I'd have to dig out the numbers and re-learn how to decode. PM if interested.
