Age of "new" tires

Thanks guys. I'm glad it's not just me being picky. They're good guys and I take all of mine and my fiance's cars there for tires. We just bought a set for her Focus a couple months ago actually. I always pay cash too so they appreciate it. I'm pretty sure they'll make it right.

I would just start by bringing it to their attention and see what they say. Then take it from there if you have too.

I don’t know what kind of miles you put on your car or how many miles the tires you bought are supposed to be good for, but I’d definitely want a solution if you’re not going to wear those tires out before they’re aged out at 7 years.

Yeah, that's the thing, this pickup only gets about 6000 miles a year max, so they'll age out long before they wear out. In fact, the tires I replaced were 'only' 6 yrs old and I happened to have one blow out last week. I only had 30k miles on that set.

Thanks again for the input. I appreciate it.
