Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Been meaning to look at the spare and replace the tire for 10 years.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You have a 3 digit code...very old...
If your tires were made before the year 2000, the date code will be only 3 digits – the first two digits again listing the week of the year, and the last digit being the last digit of the year of the tire’s manufacture. This means a date code of “529” could mean the tire was manufactured in December 1999, or December 1989 – or even December 1979.
The left pointing triangle ◀️ following the 3 digit date code was required by DOT from 1990 onwards. Then the 4 digit code was introduced for 20xx.
80's tyres have 3 digits and no Triangle.
So your spare is made in 99.
Yea, I forgot about the little triangle and apparently so did GoodYear....lol ...The statement about the date code I posted came directly from the GoodYear ...
It being stored under a cover in the frunk really extends the life. Its only designed to get u to a tire store. If its not dry rot and it holds air, im sure its fine for 25-50 miles at reasonable speeds.
No, but my plan was to call my local tire shop, give them the dimensions of the tire and wheel size and pick anything that fits. If that doesn�t work, I�ll just get a mountain bike tire (kidding).
Something to remember is that your full size tire wont fit in the frunk. Carry a large plastic trash bag so you can put the bad tire in the car without getting everything filthy.
