Replacement TT tires, Date code

I ordered from Discount Tire Direct and received tires 14 months old.(even after I added a note not to send tires more than 6 months old) I called to complain and asked for either fresher tires or a return label. They supposedly checked all their wharehouses and had non that were newer. After I explained that I had lost a year of use they gave me a $50 credit towards my next purchase and refunded me an amount that made the tires a 3 year price rather than a 4 year price. Call and complain. It's worth a try.
