[TR] Tires

[Wbeech@flash.net]

Agreed Dave, recently while shopping for our common 165/15, I ordered a set of Firestone tires through my local shop.  They were four years old, I elected not to buy them.  Then ordered a set from Discount tire, they were a year old, called the guy back and he adjusted by the cost of one tire, win-win. 

NFI,
Bill

Thanks, Randall. An interesting read.

What we also need to keep in mind is that the "new" tires purchased 
online or at your local tire shop might already be a year (or more?) 
old by the time you receive them! Not many shops [can] tell you the 
age of the tires in their inventory when you are buying and, for that 
matter I'm guessing, not many of us even think to ask ..

This is like shopping at your local supermarket and checking for "best 
by" dates.... Caveat emptor....
