12/70 original spare tire - DOT 149

[inline6]

I saw this on a recent 240Z auction on BAT.  So much for my claim of the oldest Toyo for a Z!

Here is mine, 1/71 240z.  Brigdestone Super Speed.  I was told this was a spare from a 1969? I have been offered 2k for it.  I have zero clue on what it actually is.

For 2k it would have a new home!!

I probably should have sold it.  I actually had a lot of interest in it, maybe the white wall aspect?

After seeing this post, I just checked my (12/70) Z’s spare also a Toyo Z-1. Didn’t realize I had a 53 year old tire.

Also, DOT 149.  Odd.  Also, someone looking for original tires could contact the two of us, the two BAT folks, and could purchase a matching set!

Not really planning on selling it..

Still looking for 2 correct wheels (11/70 or 12/70).

11/70 currently on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/386199400448?hash=item59eb473000:g:lcwAAOSw5cxlKtGb&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEBg9%2FdWu7nKPA0i7J29WlF0OtBSA4EH8Z6sbTca%2FT82FbIRphOkU4bLlbUJzdqWlkYrlG6hEHztMXzoCv63VQl9MPMRHAD1Tq5ykejshUMZ%2FrlRXJhO3k2iJ4IRftLC47feTmRcPRuOxNM0sXrXmjNV1yrYZ%2FylOK6aSwouV1rjpDUtLOWFtjIxVsucB72YZ0FFNvF5zOrDYDKjsiD4cV7ixNAZ3rynAgntzLRK2Ha7ixShbLDRwwuIQ7%2FJA0Lgmw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9jSjoiYYw

As a point of interest, thought I would add a picture of my NOS 11 - 70 spare tire.  Since my 1/71 series 1 car was delivered

new at the dealership with dish mags, I was fortunate to find a set of 11 - 70 wheels with their D hubcaps, and then this

11 - 70 spare.  I think these wheels dated 11/70 are dated close enough that they could have been original equipment on

my 1/71 car.

Interesting that I have a different tire then you and we both have 1/71s.  I was told Toyota was just using random parts they had laying around to fulfil orders, which is most likely why I have the whitewall version.
