Please help with a tire question.

Last time we needed tires, we got Goodyear's. My husband loved driving on these tires. Well, we need tires again but I need help with a question.

We use a dealership that we trust, but they do not have the rv tires in stock, they order them. I told the man I spoke to what tires I wanted. I also said that I wanted fresh tires-six months or less. The dealership called today-they have the tires but are almost one year old.

Now, the dealership is willing to send the tires back, and try again, but the same thing might happen.

Would you keep the tires, try again, or get another brand?

Thank you.
  • You must have a very good dealership. A lot of the talk I'm reading would be shown the door with a smile.

    One other way to look at it. You're OK with 6 month tires, so they are just 6 months older then what your ideal is.

    You can always ask for a discount. I doubt they will give you a discount on the age, but may wave the fees that get applied to a tire purchase just because they are a good dealership and don't want to lose a good customer that trusts their professional judgement vs Internet experts.

    Good Luck.
  • You might also tell them that you will take those tires for a 20% discount.
  • X2 they can call, insist on the age date been there, p.s those year old tires have been rotting for one year, all ready,
  • Goodyear dealer should be able to call their warehouse to check on dates of tires and specify.
    If your dealer doesn't want to, call around.
    Year old tires, might work for a big discount!
