AFAIK it would be the 7th week of 1976.

Thanks Lee...the seller tells me these are approximately 10 years old. Could the date code be 2006?

If that was the case I think the last 2 digits would be 06.

For tires manufactured after 2000 you use the last 4 digits: 1 & 2 = week while 3 & 4 = year.

Then again as I said . . . AFAIK . . . Firestone tires are a little harder to decode then say Goodyear tires.

Appreciate it Lee.
