It looks original to me with the paint dot next to the weights and little sticker next to the production code. I see the DOT next to the paint dot. I'm not sure what year the DOT started but I seem to remember it starting earlier than I previously thought. 1968 or 1969? I'm certainly no tire expert but I would have bought it based on what I see. What is wrong with the tread pattern? Please educate me.
I believe Jeff Helms knows a good bit about old tires. Hopefully he will chime in. I'm voting its legit. Thanks, Jason Last edited by SuperNovaSS; 02-25-2024 at 10:54 PM.

if its original, its too bad they put a trim ring on it and probably scratched the wheel

DOT started in mid / late 1967 for the 1968 Model Year.. Correct tires for a 1967 Corvette did not have DOT on them. My original Uniroyal Loredo "The Rain Tire" was a non DOT tire. Bill
