I can get 4 Sailun 17.5 inch tires from Amazon Prime, free delivery, taxes, etc., for $635 then take them to Discount Tire for mounting. However, there is no way to know the DOT until they arrive. A current Ebay listing has them with a DOT code of 2019 but no month. Annoys me the merchant would but the year and not the month.
Just got an email for this guy on eBay this morning. His Sailuns are 2119 so coming up on a year old.
The first set of five I ordered were from SimpleTire, and they were a bit newer then 2119, but still older then I wanted, so they went back. I was okay with six months old from Walmart.
Have you gave a local merchant a shot at getting a set of them. This set I got from Walmart was the first tires I have ever ordered online ,and had delivered. I won't do that again . Took two sets to get a newer tire. I'll pay a little extra ,and go local next time. Although returning the first set to SimpleTire was not a big deal. I could of done it two different ways, had them picked up from my home ,or take them to Fedex . I chose to just take them to Fedex ,and get it done.
