Subject: [CR]Question re Wolber tire labels

I'm looking at some Record Route 18 tires that have different label from the type I've previously used. The set in front of me have little tricolore flags at each end of the label. My old sets had the same or similar yellow lettering on a black background, but no little flags. Does anyone know which came first and when the change was made? I know the no-flags type go back to at least 1987, so I think it's likely that the new-to-me triclore label tires are probably newer. So, the primary question is when the label changed. Of course, if the tricolore label version is actually older, that would not be a bad thing.
