GOOD YEAR BLUE STREAK TIRE ID # ??
A good friend just found and bought these GOODYEAR BLUE STREAK 7:00X15 RACING tires for his 63 race Corvette. Does anyone know what these numbers mean?

Re: GOOD YEAR BLUE STREAK TIRE ID # ??
Jim,
Here goes, L 1968 E November 1 Manufacturer: in 69 the code was 0 so I am not sure of this one. 1 Location of plant, Akron, Ohio 74 Size of tire, code is unknown 2R Type of tire, code is unknown. I am going off the info provided from the Rick Bizzocco 1969 guidebook for Corvettes. He talks about Goodyear tire codes in there.

The letter T or L was used in 68 with the letter J or U code in 69. No one has figured out what the codes are for the Firestones.
