What does this date work out to? I'm pretty sure it is the original G60-15 spare tire to my car.

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.

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?

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.

It is a F60-15 RWL. You are right - it is G34

You must have other charts because I couldn't make sense out of 2 shown

Now if I only knew what it came on.

Thanks Dan

It's a '72 Corvette tire (if they got them from Topeka, if not it's real close).

I thought it might be..

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