old new tyres

[davidpaulc]

got 2 new conti 3's front tyes for the 197 last week.


however , was not pleased as when i inspected them , 1 tyre was date stamped 39/2006 the other was dated mid08.:dapprove:
i told them i wasnt too happy and they swapped the the 06 tyre for another mid08.

am i being picky here?

i guess the moral is to physically see the tyre before it goes on...

yes you are, 5years is the allowed sell by date

Stock rotation - they will send/sell the oldest tyres first, as long as they are not ancient you will have no probs...
