I just bought a decent 1966 Fleetwood Brougham, 40k miles, the car isn't that bad for just turning 50 years old.

The tires on the car look like they don't have 500 miles on them but, they look old if you know what I mean.

Both front tires have a date code of  ACHL  DBH  422

Both back tires have a date code of  ACHL  DBH  412

Do these tire go back to 2002 or 2012 ??

Thanks,

The three digit number indicates that the tires were made prior to 2000.  The fronts were made the 42nd week of 1992 or 1982, the rears the 41st week of 1992 or 1982.

Diamondback sells those triple white walls for a 1966 Cadillac.  Understand it is a stock tire, the double white walls on my 1970 Cadillac look and drive so nice at all speeds (have not driven much faster than 80 mph on highway).  Enjoy your Cadillac!

Thanks Scott,

I was looking at the original advertisements for the 66 Brougham and I saw the triple whitewall.

I figured that I'd never find those.

You just found them for me !!
