Goodyear bias ply tires?

69SSRSL89 · #1 06-18-2007, 10:20 PM

I was wondering if any one can tell me how to determine if a bias ply tire is an original or a reproduction? Here is the information that I have on them. They are a Goodyear F70-14; Tubeless; Polyester Cord; 4 Ply; Load Range B; V-1; DOT. Info. on the back side of the tires includes: DOT CYLDB3K71100; Speedway Wide Tread. Are there any key things to look for? I'm looking at picking these up from a someone and just wanted to know for sure what they are. I'm ok with them being reproductions. I'd just like to know either way. Thanks for any help you can provide.

If they all show CYLD in their DOT,they are modern day reproductions.

Glad to help Jesse,and to add:
*CYLD is the plant number.
*B3K7 is the mold/part number.
*11th is the week of the year.
*00 stands for the last digits of the year manufactured.In your case it's 2000.If it was just 0,it would stand for 1990.CYLD stands for the McCreary manufacturing plant,and they were not making these in 1980 or other earlier zero ending years.
