Looks like this tire was manufactured 8th week of 1979 (thanks Darrell). It can't be 69 because it is a DOT tire. Can't be 89 or later because the manufacturing went off shore in the 80s (this tire says USA mfg). Interesting to note though - the red line on these old tires is quite a bit narrower that then repro red lines - see pictures. Does anyone know if the narrower red stripe is available today?
