Can anyone help identify when this tire was made? It is an original F70 14 nylon cord. Thanks, Grady

Only that it was made prior to May, 1971 - that's when the DOT-mandated standard TIN (Tire Identification Number) format had to be implemented. The number on that tire is a pre-DOT Firestone-proprietary number - don't know how to decode it.
