Dave has a good memory. These came from a later car since they have 
silver painted outer faces. These are all French XZXs. The date codes 
are various, but hard to decipher since they only have 1-digit years 
(3-digit date codes) so you can't tell the decade. When did they 
switch to 4-digit date codes?  

Yes, my old ZXs and Xs are all gone....

--Jim,

I will have good used tires here at the auction if you need them.  Just make it here.
