I thought it might be.. 
Couldn't it be for an earlier Corvette also. Maybe a replacement tire from a Goodyear store in 1971?
Yes, Corvette started using that tire - nylon/F70-15 (Firestone & Uniroyal also) for the '68 model year (RWL in '69).

This post has explained the plant and date for Goodyear tires well. What is missing is a chart of codes for the size and type of tire. If someone has such a chart, would you mind adding it to this post? Thanks.

What do you have? I've been collecting data to see if there is a way to reverse engineer any info from it.
..... but I'd need numerous examples to prove the "educated guesses" - one tire I've been looking for proof of is a Firestone Wide Oval pre-1970 that is fiberglass-belted.

The picture below is the spare from a 69 Bee. G70 x 15 Redline. Doesn't seem to match any info in this post. Any ideas on the code?
Thanks. D

Sure we like pics, but what kind of car, what assembly plant, & size/style of tire?
Also, got pics of the date on the wheel?
