OLD TIRES SOLD AS NEW BLOW UP. CHECK YOUR TIRES!

[frank mucus]

So I just got some new tires. Came out to $1500+ for all four.

Should I demand newer ones? They are made sometime in the 47th week of 2011.

if you cant find em they might be on the inner side of the tires which probably means theyre really old. tread isnt looking to good either unless blurriness makes it look worse

the tread is good. its just the cracking on the outer area of the tire...man i just got the old ones switched out about 2 weeks ago too.

yea my pop's ride has 2 rear tires that have no age on the outerwall. means they're old as ****. you have to go under the car to try and see...or take off the wheel depending on where on the wheel it is.

2005 is kinda old...if you think about it that tire is about to be 8 yrs old.

discounttiredirect.com is a great place to buy tires. I got some copper tires a few months ago. Tires were all dated this year.

Wish I would have seen this video a year ago. My tires don't have that number on the outside, so it must be on the inside. I'll be checking it tomorrow to see when my tires were manufactured. Great info OP. Hope Sears didn't do me dirty

 

[legreyfoxx]

i find this for anyone else that may be in similar situation as me http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=30 found out what it was but i'll def. be cautious while driving on them for the time being. not gonna think im paul walker or vin diesel or anything just gonna cruise until i can replace em. until then NT pray for me
