Tire markings questions

[cranetruck]

The below images are from one of the 8x8 tires, 16-20 tubeless bias ply type,
does any of you know what the "REOR" means and the series of letters/numbers starting with T-218?
Thanks

Just letting you know I saw a couple old 16.00x20 tires of yours at TNJ MUrray's the other day, but they each had a tear in them (they were in the scrap tire pile).

I would guess they have been capped, based on what looks like the edge of the cap half way down the sidewall in your photo. Are all the tires like this?

No, they are not, I have 3 different brands, BF Goodrich, Goodyear and Uniroyal all dated '68-69. Here is one of the Goodyear ones.

Mike, thanks for thinking of me, I'm always on the lookout for these tires......
second image shows comparison with 1100-20 on the deuce. The tires are all about the same height as they sit on the ground, 41 inches for the 1100-20 and the 16-20, just different widths.
