Tire date code
Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread GT
Just making sure this is a repop tire. CYUYB3EX240 is the date code. Has DOT to the left of that. Also trying to date a YH ralley wheel. Car is a March Z. Original wheel is in the trunk and I can't read the final digit. It is Feb 2, 21 or 27. Can someone tell me if one or more of those are known good dates. I think it is Feb 2, but my eyes keep wanting to see a second digit in the day code side. |
BTW neither the tires nor the one YH wheel are for sale. Just looking for info.

I believe only february wheels were 26 thru 28th

Thanks Bill. Would that include the 27th? Looks to be a very faint stamp of a crooked verticl line that could be a 7. Could not get it to show up even with a close up pic.
Anyone have any info on that tire date code? |
It would include the 27th

I am pretty sure it is a repop.
Here is a pic of the date code from an original. |

Around May of 71 DOT introduced 11 character coding. The last three digits (two for the week and last for year)your example; week= 24th and 0 =year 1980 or 90. In 2000 they went to a 12 digit coding. Two for month and two for year 2211 = 22 week of 2011 |
Thanks Steve:
So, are you saying Goodyear still made this tire in 1980 or 1990? What year did Goodyear quit making them? Are the new ones (repops) coded differently? Thanks for any help. |

After the year 2000 they changed to a 12 digit code. The later tires also have TWI script Tire Wear Indicator and Safety warning for over and under inflation began after the 70's. |
