Old michelin tires?

Hello. I looked closely at the tires on my 65 Pontiac Bonneville today. They are Michelin 2 ply nylon. They look brand new, even having the little tits all over them. they are 215-14 x (not sure about the x). They have the number 18 T-20-22628 (not sure if the last digit is an 8 or something else.)

Anybody have an idea how old they are?

I did not think Michelin made anything except radials.

Also there is an oil change sticker dated 6.30.99 and an alignment sticker dated August 22, 1979. Mileage 29,598 and 22,676 respectively.


There is also a pair of paper floor mats from Wilmann Pontiac at 200 center street, Johnsonburg PA. Its a really tiny dealership with about 12 to 15 cars out front according to the picture on google earth, in a building with an office area of maybe 40 x 20 and about five bays with overhead doors. The building looks to be from about 1950 or so.
