Questionable Selling Price of Bridgestone GR80?

[Wickham]

Would you trust a shop if they quote $50 for a new 185/60/14?

 

Then again, this shop is well known for quoting *ahem* insane prices.

Check the manufacturing date.. make sure its not from some recycled lot. If its new, grab and dont ask any questions.. that guys is XIAO !!!! and btw, bring some witnesses along in case he changes his mind !

[Wickham]

hahah...will do.

it's a 4-digit number right?

first 2 set is the month and last 2 is the year of manufacture?

 

so as long as it's within 2 years...it's ok i reckon?

 

thanks all.

[Spenz]

For example 0406.. that means 4th week of 2006.. first 2 digits is the week and last 2 the year.

 

Usually the turnover in tyre shops very fast.. dont accept anything more than 1 year old !

[Linus]

hmmm.. personally, i would prefer the manuf. date within 6 months.

[Spenz]

I agree.. fresh rubbers work best

[Sony]

probably someone trade in brand new tyres when they 1st got delivery of their car, say 20 bucks per piece. now sell u 50 bucks per piece.

[Linus]

ala bro. cannot enlighten lah. me so heavy. share experience and exchange ideas.

 

wat i reckon is rubber will get harden with time. so 6 months is probably a good period.

 

anyone has any scientific explanation on the harden period for rubber ? guru genie ?

 

one year, to me, too long liao. or can ask for more discount.

[Linus]

keekee... fresh from rubber trees ? latex form.
