When I bought my '57 in 1988 the guy at the tire shop I brought it to
decoded some of the numbers and told me that the tires on it were from 1968
which made sense since the was close to the last time it had been on the road,
don't know how he did it but it can be done. You'll need to talk to an old tire
guy.

Just
checked my car's OEM spare tire, and all it has, for numbers, is 8.00-14
meaning that the tire's width, thru its belly area, is 8" (its footprint is
about 6") and it fits a 14" wheel.
