All 4 of theh tires have a DOT raised letter mold and CYLD F2K515 stamped into the rubber next to it. What do these codes mean? Thanks

New world modern day current reproduction tires.

The 515 more than likely means they were produced the 51st week of 2005. I'm not sure what the mfgs did after 1999. So it could mean the tires were built the 51st week of 1995.

On top of that,specifically that's a McCreary plant & date code and they currently carry the contract to reproduce The Wide Oval today.
They didn't back in the day,and only started doing so around early 1990's.
