I've got a totally different code on my original Goodyear spare tire. I think I've decoded some of it JE91634 - Serial number
J – 1969 E – Nov 9 - ? 1 – Akron Plant 634 – sequence number
Anyone know what the 9 means?

BA = (date) 31st week 1970 (~8/2/70) NB = (plant) Goodyear Akron II, OH tire palnt JC = (size) G60-15 DL = (type) fiberglass belted w/RWL
Sounds like a good fit.
Thanks Dan! It has never been on the ground and was still on the 450 steel wheel until this past November (guy put a new BFG on it).

What size is it F70-14 or F60-15? White stripe, RWL with size, RWL w/o size? Got pics?
I believe the last 3 digits are G34. I believe that Goodyear used "01" & "91" to distinguish between plants I & II in Akron, OH before 1970. In '70 it was "NK" (and later ""MA") for plant I vs. "NB" (and later "MB") for plant II.
In 1970 they went to the format on James' tire. Calendar year 1971 DOT mandated a standardized coding for all tire manufacturers.

I thought it might be.. Couldn't it be for an earlier Corvette also. Maybe a replacement tire from a Goodyear store in 1971?
