Default Re: tire writing on Camaro

This probably does not matter much for Camaro's but the Nova had a four letter code on the tread of the spare tire that matched the tire code on the chassis broadcast sheet. There are some examples in the Nova Times of both the tire code (Feb 97 I believe) and a chassis broadcast sheet (Feb 93 and May 94 I believe). There also a picture of the red dot.

KODF was the E78-14 Belted White stripe
KODB was another code.

This was typical on 1970 & up A-Bodies (Chevelles).I think the tire plants started to use these codes for most cars around then.

Mighta started in 70 for F-bodies, but no broadcast codes on 67-9 Camaro tires.

Remember, it was plant specific according to the bulletin.It was also based on supply of each,tire & rim ,at the mentioned plants.Here is a shot of my "shot" on a 68 FC rim......I added the dot,I was unable to find it on my 68 Speedway Wide-Treds.......age I guess [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Oh yeah,the 68 Z didn't have the "shot" either.It had the dot on the tire though.I have noticed more marks on the Uniroyal tires and Wide-Treds but very little on anything else.Here's another on a 69 Low Mi SS.....
