Tires again
Trying to order new tires this morning for my 5er. Called simple tire because I had settled on the sailun S637 G rated. Simple tire would only guarantee a DOT date within the last four years,I'm sure the tires would be a lot newer than the four years but I didn't want to have to send them back. I was looking forward to trying the Sailun, well maybe next time.
Couldn't live with that so I purchased the Goodyear G614 G rated like I have now with a DOT date of 2819. About $100 per tire more but I know Goodyear will stand behind their products. The Discount tire guy called several suppliers B4 he found a set that were less than a year old. Hats off to them for the effort.
Three of my old tires were 6 years old and the other was nearly seven. I have so many wires and hydraulic hoses under the fender wells I was afraid to push it any further.
Well all I started out to say is the DOT date on tires is very important since we usually replace our tires because of age rather than wear need to be aware.
I was fortunate to find a salesman that was willing to look around to find what I wanted.
Soooooo many words. Happy camping.
