Is this a good tire deal?

Just make sure you check the date codes on the tires first. A lot of "tire deals" result when a place has a certain tire sitting around for a while and needs to move them.

Tires older than 6 years are recommended be replaced, so you don't want to put 3-4 year old tires on a car.


I made the mistake of doing this once. A tire that was normally $250 was discounted to $95 each. I said sure why not. After the fact, i checked the date codes and they were from 2002 meaning they were 4-5 years old at the time. They were dry-rotted and wearing odd within a year.

Next set of tires i got i made sure were less than 6 months old when they went on the car
