Coolest tire swing ever?



Anybody know how to decode Goodyear tire engineer scribblings? Maybe we can figure out who used the tire.

UPDATE:
Here are some detail photos of the mystery tire.

Right-front, #12 car?

My guess is the tire is almost 2 years old, the purple writing is active run data...
photo 1 car location and set #

photo 2 tire surface temps, air pressure depending on track surface and banking appears to be good ot fair. Middle number being higher shows slight over inflation(?)

photo 4 86 inches=tire circumference, which is a short 27.5 inch tire, which may explain the middle number in photo #2. we've all heard the phrase "an air pressure adjustment".

It is not a short track tire...

cool swing, and a neat post...it will be interesting to see how many cross over (cars/bikes) folks are out there.

...where do I pick up my tickets and travel arrangements for the Sonoma race...LOL!!!!!!!!!

Goodyear code D4148 is from the Nationwide series and could have been run at a few different tracks during the 2008-09 seasons.

Michigan International Speedway
Nationwide Series Tire Codes: Left-side -- D-4134; Right-side -- D-4148

Nationwide Series teams will be running the same combination of left- and right-side tire codes they ran at Kentucky in June . . . they also ran this tire set-up at Michigan and Kentcky last season . . . teams in the Nationwide Series should be especially familiar with this left-side tire, having run it 12 times between 2008 and 2009 . . .
