Thanks Freddy!
Just curious - these tires are a set of four (two E60 and two G60) that all appear to have the same minimal tread wear. In other words, they all look like they are the same age. Any chance the tires you say are 1981 could be 1971 instead, like the first one? Based on your decoding, only one of the four tires is from 1971, which seems odd.

They could be 1971. The two with 10 digit codes would have been made before the old style 8 digit code tires but I am sure Goodyear had several plants producing them and maybe not all of them switched codes at the same time?

The first sequence should be the same as '69 format, date then plant.
CDNBJADL CD is 12th wk '71 and NB is Akron II plant. The last 2 sequences should be plant designation first and then the last 3 numbers are week and year. MBNFDLA231 MB should be Akron II plant and 23 1 should be 23rd week of '71. That should be correct, I'm more familiar with the '68 &'69 codes though. Mark |

sorry I was wrong CDNBJADL is the 12th week of 71
That makes more sense, been a while since I decoded a tire I was looking at the wrong letters [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] |
