Date Code for Firestone Whitewalls 6.70-15

[supercub]

I found these Firestone whitewalls that look real nice for a good price but I'm certain they are old even though there isn't any wear visible except for white flaking around the bead. Can anyone verify? I believe 41st month of 1958. The seller states that he brought them 5 or 6 years ago.

More likely ‘98 or even ‘88.

Could also be ‘78, but based on other shown details, I doubt it.

Regardless of actual year, they are over twenty years old and if put to intended use (i.e. normal speed driving), more than likely a disaster waiting to happen.

Personally, I wouldn’t use them on any car meant to be driven, but then again, I take safety,  my own and other road users, seriously.

I have the actual date stamp now, looks like 2015 but yes youre right they may not be good to use and no one would want to mount them.
