DO NOT BUY TIRES FROM tires-easy.com

I just ordered a new set of tires for my wife's car. I usually order from Tire Rack, but the Conti DWS were backordered for the front and tires-easy had them in stock for the same price. After receiving the tires, I checked the date code since tires are perishable and to my shock the tires were made the 12th week of 2009!! After calling customer service and talking to a guy that sounded like a robot and telling them I want a full refund, no manager was around to take the call nor was anyone available to escalate the call. Check your date codes guys, no point in putting tires that are 4 years old, and unsafe on your car when you're paying for brand new tires.

Yes, I'd be dissapointed as well. But 4 year old tires are not gonna be bad for you to use, unless there's some obvious defect, like splitting sidewalls, or plugs. Hell, I'm running 12 year old tires on my trailer that gets about 200-500 miles a year use on it! As long as they're taken care of, they will last a lot longer than 4 years!

You probably won't get more than 1 year use anyways, right?
