Can you identify this tire?

[72-SS-L48]

Hi All,

Need some help identifying what this tire was originally used on.

Goodyear Power Cushion - 8.25 x 15. Says 4 ply on the side of it and load range B.

Pics below.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave:

Can you provide a closeup photo of the numbers within the red square. They won't tell me which car they came on but they will tell me the date of manufacture

Here's the picture.

Thanks,
Dave

232 = 23rd week of the 2nd year of the decade

Which decade? Unknown (1982 or 1992). The tire was manufactured before 2000. After 2000 they went to a 4 digit code instead of your 3.

AFAIK, DOT was added to the tire's sidewall March 31, 1979 so your's can't be a 1972.

Thanks Lee.

Appreciate the info. Clearly not a production tire.

Best,
Dave

That was prior to the modern DOT timeline. That tire is from the 60’s... I will see if I can come up with where that tire was used and pull the real date on the tire..
