1968 - 1969 Uniroyal Redline Tire

[Jimmy G.]

I have an interesting tire and I am not a 68 - 69 expert so help would be appreciated. In my recent pandemic inventory I ran across a Uniroyal Red Strip tire. It is mounted on a AZ wheel which I think is dated ((K 8 18 (Valve Stem) 18 AZ)). Hard to read.

Anyone have a clue what this is. Original / Service Replacement ????Uniroyal Redline F-70X15 with Rim.jpg

Is what a replacement? The valve stem? If you are asking about the tire, I don't get the pic???

I have seen some 1970-72s with what appear ti be original Uniroyals. I believe it is uncommon, but possible for OEM. Others will be less forgiving.

Uniroyal red stripe tires were available in both 68 and part of 69. There are easily distinguishable differences between the two. The 69 sales brochure shows one car with Uniroyal red stripes.
I judged an original owner 69 @ Bloomington. The spare tore was let down for the first time...it was a Uniroyal red stripe.
