70 442 w30's-Goodyear or Firestone tires?
#121
BFGoodrich (PERFORMA GT ??)
B2MF L9DM
B2 - date = 1st week of 1971
MF - manufacturer & plant = GOODYEAR Los Angeles, CA
L9 - size = G70-14
DM - type = fiberglass belted with "white stripe"
can you ad pics of the complete tire & tread? how about the wheel and the date codes by the valve stem? what's the body build date on the cowl tag and completion date on the door sticker?

Hurst68olds - Where can I (or did you) find the info to decode the tire date code info?

that is an interesting tire - first I've seen - thanks for sharing!
the first I saw of a Goodyear tire decode was ~2000 from Galen Govier in his "Chrysler Corporation Part & Casting Numbers Book 1962-1974 VOL. II"
since then I've seen Corvette crowd based info in print & more recently this: http://anghelrestorations.com/upload...tires_v1.3.pdf
looks like the "PLANT" may not be accurate in my above decode as Goodyear Los Angeles used "NE" in the above format & changed to "MF" in the following 10-11 digit format ????
here's a current DOT plant codes & location - I believe as some US plants were moved overseas, the equipment & DOT code moved with them http://www.harriger.com/tires.htm
