From what I remember 1968 started DOT numbers on all tires. Thats one of the reasons original 1967. Dated Corvette tires are worth so much. As an example, you could get Uniroyal Loredo 775X15 "The Rain" Tires up until 1971? But after 1967, they had DOT numbers on them. Thats what all the judges looked for. People try to sell "Original" spare tires and people try to make a set, but on closer inspection they are from later years. Another reason I took the point deduction and purchased reproduction tires
