Another Tire Judging Question

[Bill L.]

If the date on the spare is 2-4 weeks after my build date will I receive full credit?

I found an original and it is dated about 2 weeks after my 70 was built.

I sure got excited until I realized the date was just a little off.

Thanks, Bill

Bill, 4 weeks is perfect.

Just to clarify. The tire date is after the build date of my 70.

Bill,
Just to complicate things further what is the code on the tire. ? As you have a 1070 car I assume you have a Goodyear tire as the Firestone codes are not known. A tire from 1970 will have the "short" code" as the production/date codes became longer in early 1971.
It is likely that about 10% of the judges will have the information and/or knowledge to decode the tire so your chances of a date deduct are small but if you want to be 100% like many of us then you need to keep looking.
