Firestone Sport Car 200 E70 15 Tires - Decode
 

I need help decoding a couple of original E70 15 Firestone Sport Car 200 tires from a 1969 Camaro Z/28. There has been plenty of discussion on other treads about the perils of driving on this tires so to be clear I only intend to use them for stationary show and for a spare tire(non-use). I am also curious about the current market value of these tires (individually). One has 50% wear with some sidewall cracking and the other about 1,000 miles and is cosmetically strong.http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/7...ortcar2001.jpg

Good pickup Bill, one of the tires is a "blem", however as none are going into road service I'm most interested in the dates and market values.

Update - I contacted Coker tire who reproduces the Firestone SC 200 for help with date decoding. They responded that they were unable to help - disappointing.

are the tread patterns the same on both? on one firestone is right side up, on the other its upside down. sorry i cant help with the decode

I can't comment on the tread pattern as I have only received pictures and have not the tires in person. As the Firestone SC 200's were a one-year-only design I can only assume the pattern is the same.

I have checked my sources. We can decode Goodyears, but no 'Stones.

Thanks for checking. Seems decoding the SC200 is a lost science.

the reason i ask, is that the repros i bought have a different tread pattern from my orig spare. want to make sure you are getting the real deal
