That seems to imply that there is a law that says that they can NOT sell tires as "new" if they are older than 4 years - and that would be a new one for me. Can you cite a regulation?SH wrote:

I am hoping you mean that you use the tire's TIN (Tire Identification Number) aka DOT code, and not the regulations issued by the DOT. Because if it is the latter, I would like to know where I can find that regulation.
Not "implying" anything just repeating what the tech at SimpleTire sent me in an email...
Hello,
Thank you for your email to SimpleTire.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the details of DOT to the customers because warehouse won't be able to check the dates on Individual tires and we stock tires which are from 3 months to 4 years old from the date of manufacturing, which is within the industry standard and considered as new Tires.
Please do let us know if you need any more information and we will be more than happy to help you out.
Regards,
Vivek
