Can give me guidance on tire dating?. I have a Goodyear Speedway white line tire with markings as follows: LR01598 and 223991-2. I understand that dating is indicated somewhere in these characters. Anyone?

Re: C3 Tire Question
If neither of those is preceded by "DOT", it would appear to be pre-1968. If either DOES have "DOT", they're not the final standard format, which would place the tire prior to May, 1971. In any case, you certainly don't want to drive on it.- Top

Re: C3 Tire Question
Is the tire mounted on a rally wheel? What are the wheel date code?
What year Coevette do you have?

Re: C3 Tire Question
Think I got it, guys. It seems L=1968, R=January 0=G'year, 1=Akron and the rest is coding/sizing info for the tire. This info tells me that it's too old for my '72. I was considering it for a spare only, and it is currently without a rim. Thanks again.Last edited by Don L.; March 9, 2008, 08:30 PM.Don Lowe
