Saw this on another forum I go to and thought it would be a good idea to post it here.
Tires that are sold as new. Opinions about this? |

About a month ago I took my 2001 Nissan Frontier in to get a slow leak in a tire fixed and they told me it was 8 years old, made in 2000, and they had a new company policy that they weren't supposed to repair tires more than six years old. I think I see why.
I hadn't wanted to buy new tires for it yet..., but $700 later...4 tires and alignment, etc. I need to check the date code on the new tires. This tire had been the spare when we got the truck several yeas ago and had never been used until about a year ago when I put it on. It has made several long trips. Since it had the best tread, I had it put on as the spare, figuring I would plug it myself and be fine. Now I wonder. |
