BratRod Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 There's a guy local to me that has a set of 4 raised white letter 205/60/13 Cooper Cobra Radial GT. Brand new never seen pavement. Still with the blue protective coating on the letters. He's asking $360 for the set! Can anyone provide some insight as to whether this is a good price or not? I know these are pure unobtanium, but id still like some input. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aba4430 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Read the DOT date codes and make sure you are happy with the age of the tires as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducunee Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thats an excellent price if they are less than three years old. RWL's are difficult to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBrat Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ive got the same four in my garage, waiting to put on my brat restore, that's a great find consider they have not made them in over 5+ years there is no rwl tires that size unless you get from austrailia I believe the ones you do see listed our OUt od stock meaning they will not make them again been there done that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 For sure, read the date code. I have heard tires 'break down' with time. Not just mileage. Beginning in 2000, they used a 4-digit code. Like wwyy (ww=week yy=year). So 5205 would mean the tire was manufactured the 52 week of 2005. Prior to 2000, they used a 3-digit code. So 517 would be the 51st week of 1997 (or 1987, or 1977) ... because they didn't use a 2-digit year. The date could be imbedded within DOTEK6G DFM517 (517 is the date code) Could be on either side of the tire, or both sides if you're lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks for the input, everyone. Think I'm going to pick them up this weekend, depending on the mfg. date. Will post pictures when I get then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
