DOT decoding Firestone Wide Oval
Hello,
I just bought a Corvette C3 1972 with Firestone Wide Oval tires.
I have searched the forum, but I canīt find out how to decode the DOT code.
Could you pls help decoding the DOT?
Tanks in advance!

I found something interesting in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire#Markings
"For tires manufactured in the 1990s, there is a little triangle (Δ) after the DOT code"
I think there is a triangle: 200Δ -> 20th week of 1990 ??
OMG
