Mike,

I spent 13 years with Goodyear but I have been several years gone from them now. If I remember right, MB is the code for the Akron plant, which is where the race tires were made, and 01 would be for 2001. If they had been Chile tires, they would not have had the M... M was for North American plants.

If this is right, and tires were stored correctly, out of sun and away from electric motors and heat, they might be OK. Would be a little harder than normal, but might work.

Goodyear racing web site has some contact numbers. Might take a few calls, but you should be able to get in touch with one of the race team engineers in the drag race team, that can confirm the code and dates.

Good luck,

Ken
