- Dealer should know better. Tires have a date code in the sidewall. Its going to show week-year.
Example 26-17 26 week of 2017. It will only be on one side of tire. Its not hard to find molded into side.
Some say anything older than 5 years is to old. I'd say 3 at most. I have one to be mounted 52-15 that's almost 2.5 years.
Thank you. I do know how to read the code. Just wanted to know what is acceptable. Dealer had to order the
tires and could not tell me what date the
tires were manufactured. Dealer like me will have to wait for the
tires to arrive.
Just got a call from the dealer and my
tires are in. I will pick them up tomorrow.
