I believe this tire is a Nov/69 date, can anyone confirm? Goodyear Polyglas F70 x 14

Thanks

I wish I know more about how to date code goodyear polyglas.  I think @6bblgt  knows how to date code them?  :fingerscrossed:

Yes, Dan is #1.

I'm learning how to date them, I'll share what I learned as soon as I'm confident.  ;)

there is a chart in GG's "interchange part number VOL 2 white book"

U = 1969
E = November
02 = CA Goodyear Plant (Los Angeles?)

a little tounge-in-cheek coding was used for the months:
the digit for Jan - Dec spells out " T U F S Y N P A C K E R " must have represented something at Goodyear in the '60s

is it RWL or white streak?
was it from an "E" LA assembly plant MOPAR?

dates on the wheel?  14x6.0"?
