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

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.
 
so i just checked out mine the oldest one appears to be from 05. others are 06-07 then i have this one which is giving me concerns, and i just switched out some kumho tires for these View media item 160389 i can't find a year on them. also sorry for the blurry pics i'll try to get a better one up.

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.

just saw the cracking :wow:
does not look good at all. looks like theyre on there way to peeling right off. id def look into getting them exchanged
 
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 :smh:
 
Man on my Windows 8 new computer it won't load any of these videos/pictures. P4L when I am on a different computer.
 
Just got new tires about a month ago. I'm definitely going to check them out in the morning. Thanks OP.
 
Just checked my tires on my families cars and everything looks good. Thanks to the OP for that video.
 
My civics tires were made on the 6th week of 2011 when I bought the car :pimp:

As for my 240, I bought new tires for them about a week ago but I keep it in a different location. Gotta check it asap! Thanks for the info
