I have a 1969 Camaro pace car. I am trying to find out if the original tires are on the car. It has been garaged the entire time and tires are in great shape. Anyone know if there is a book out there that tells how to decode the tires or does anyone know how to do that?? Here is the info on the tire itself:
Firestone Super Wide Oval Sports
F70x14
CYLD F2K5049
White letters
Thanks for the help...

I believe it decodes as follow, but I will try to confirm it with some documentation I have, tomorrow.
CYLD = Plant
F2K5= Mold Type #
04= Week in year produced
9= Year produced 1969 or 1979

Did you ever get any more information on the tire decoding? Thanks.. Cleyon
Paceme, what did you come up with.. Cleyon
I believe they are reproduction tires, because i don't believe that plant existed in 1969 or1979.
