Early to bed early to rise. John, I would stand back if adding more air to that tire. BTW, I miss driving past the Superbird.

Thanks Darren, hi Bruce how you been we could use some of that warm air over here it really sucks around here.
I woildnt worry about them blowing up I have seen people driving around with much worse. They hold air just fine. They would be perfect for judging a survivor car. The camera really magnifies the cracking. Strange they only cracked on the inside perfect on the outside with about 80% of thread left

I suspect that tire is from 1978. I have some tires with a code MDLD that I was told were dated `73, so the MULD may just be a later version, and the last digit being an 8.
The `70 tires were coded L8DS.
I'm sure someone else will have more exact info.

I was told anything with ten digits in the dot is pre 1970 after 1970 there were 11 digits?
