I purchased 2 year old tires. What a bummer. With a life of 6 to 7 years that is a big loss of useful tire life for me.
I purchased an 09 Holiday Rambler Admiral new in November 2009. The inside driver side rear tire blew this summer taking out my exhaust pipe, cracking my gray tank etc. My coach is still in the shop.
Turns out the tires were made in 2007. There was no obvious reason for the blow out but 2007 would make them 7 years old, not 5 as I had thought. I am replacing all the tires and will make sure I get new tires. I would definitely use the manufacture date when considering the useful tire life.
