Old tyres

One for any tyre guys out there..Am i correct in thinking that the part of the dot code shown in the pic is the date 084 ie. this tyre was produced in the eighth month of the year ending in 4 (could be 74,84 or 94 as only 1 digit was used for the year until 1999) As i know this car has definately not been used since befor 1982 it would be 74
Input anyone?

Thanks for the responses..
I have no intention of using these tyres, but was just interested if they were the original tyres for the car, 1974 GT4.
I bought the car as a project with virtually no history. We know it was registered in the UK in 1982 after being imported from Europe at some point before that. At this point it was converted to RHD and repainted Red from White. But the job was never finished and it sat until 2010 when the prior owner to myself bought it with the intention of doing some hillclimbing with it. He stripped the engine checked all the tolerences, all within manufacturers specs. Had new valves guides/valves fitted, new rings, bearings All std size etc.
But plans for him changed and he moved the car on. As the car wasn't going to be used on the road, cosmetics etc weren't important to him. The car essentially needed painting again, interior was a mess, no carpets, bits missing, broken etc.
Since i've had it i stripped it back to bare metal, fitted a new roof panel as the original had a glass sunroof fitted (badly) had it painted, acquired an interior and am now putting it back together. It'll never be a top car, but it's mine
One of the reasons i was wondering if they were the original tyres was because its showing a ridiculously low milage but we have no way of verifying it all. Other things of note, its never had a wing mirror fitted either side, which must be fairly unusual and the dino front badge is not recessed into the front panel and has not been altered at all, unless it had a new panel at the point of its original work.... Oh and no rust at all! must be rare for a euro, particularly a UK based car.
As you can probably tell, i've not got pots of money to throw at this so it is being done on a bit of a shoestring and i'm sure it won't be winning any shows, but hey its mine and thats not going to change anytime soon Oh sorry about the awful pics as well!

Guy, Yes they are XWX's on '74 stamped rims, virtually full tread and the rubber feels like it's made from concrete complete with thousands of lovely cracks in the sidewalls. Unfortunately the original centre caps were missing, so that plus the need for expensive new tyres, its ended up with the 16" Revolutions at the moment. Though the cromadoras are still sat in the corner of the garage, the rims are actually in superb condition, never been painted either, so one day.....

 

Dave, what's the chasis number? My 74 (I bought it new in 75 no.09112) had XWX's and yours sound original. It came with one wing mirror only (Chromodora Astro) and I made them supply an extra one in the deal. My Dino badge is recessed so I am guessing yours is earlier. And no rust!! Unbelievable, as some one mentioned on another post 'they were pre-rusted at the factory!'. Good luck with the restoration, it looks good so far. Waz.[/QUOTE]

Wazza, Chassis no. is 9324. so later than yours. I'm suspecting that the front panel may have been replaced due to the non recess?
