Just wondering if this was 7th week of 66,76,86,or 96? Can the style and size of markings let me know what year?

Thanks lee. Like new old style redlines but I probably shouldn’t put them on my Monte for everyday driving. Everyone says you can’t tell if they’ll fall apart during driving. Just like the old style tires with the recessed redline.

Does the tire have DOT on it anywhere?

That is the later 11 digit DOT code pictured. As I understand it, earlier codes are only 8. Also FWIW, NCRS is not judging tire date codes as the information for Firestone and Uniroyal are incomplete.
