Tires of different date of manufacture

[nazerath]

Is it common to have tires of different date of manufacture? I asked for 15 manufacture but was given one of 14 year. how ah?thanks in advance

[nazerath]

anyone please guide?

Is it common?

Yes it's common.

 

How ah?

Fit and drive off already right? Then cannot return already. You can sell 2nd hand.

14 is still good. 13 grey area. If 12 or below, then let us know who sell you one.

Do you mean you bought 4 tires from a shop and the date codes are not all the same? I think if the dates are not too far off from each other (6 months to 1 year diff depending on personal tolerance) it is ok.

 

When I collected my new car, i got 1 tire diff date code from the rest. In additiona the tires were slightly more than 1 year old (as of the new car collect date). I was quite unhappy at first. Asked around and then conclude its nothing major.

Don't worry about the DOT codes if they are less than 3years old. Brand new tyres have a shelf life of 5-6years depending on the brand

the feeling not good coz before I buy, I asked if it is 15 tires. I checked the first one and it was and they were in sets of 4. I paid a premium, more than what J tyre had quoted. The reason I went there is that they got 2015 but I was given 14.

 

for info.. my old tire i was replacing was as new as may 2014. so the feeling really sucks.

Eh? Why did you change your tyres? Aren't V40 stock tyres michellin primacy 3? These are relatively good tyres. Not UHP of course, but definitely of some standard.

this is on my family's car.

speaking of this.. there is something I wanted to share. if you buy used car, usually they will advertise new set of tire with the car. if you see carefully the tires are usually beyond shelf life one. trying to smoke those who don't know. a trick by the dealers.

If the tires already on your car and you had driven off, then i think there is nothing much you can do about it. If on the spot, you have every right to stop the deal and walk off.

I fully sympathize with you as I have experienced it myself. But technically, there really isn't much to concern about.

 

Sometimes, it is good to buy at shop where they don't have ready stocks. They will order from the distributor and the tires usually will be fresh. I changed mine recently and the tires were delivered while I was at the shop waiting. They were dated 1 month prior.

Bro its perfectly fine. Tyres by industrial standards can last up to 6 years from DOM.

[Beregond]

using 2014 tyres is fine.

 

but it seem ts check with the shop suppose to be 2015 tyres,

 

in the end become 2014. if this is the case.

 

its not really fine

when buying used cars, ALWAYS expect the worse from the dealer. Just take everything they say with a pinch of salt. That's why buying used cars are often a unpleasant experience.

Good one, first time I heard of this. Will look out next time if dealer mentions tyres are new .

 

Know of any other things to look out for besides the usual?

only way to have 100% new tyres is

You go buy yourself from your tyre shop, because you are there to witness the change.

but be more reasonable , buying a second hand car you expect New tyres ?

Used car meaning every parts of the car are used.

But surely you can request new tyres before transaction.

Again you want 100% ask for some rebate for you to go buy NEW tyre yourself 1000000000% new tyre

frankly speaking only possible NEW part of the used car is the Spare tyre

we already have many things to look for when buying new tyre.

Now you want this number to be all same, Jia luck , more headache .

If the tyres are of the 100% same type you are fine when the date is not same (of course not 5years gap)

please be more sensible , life is tough if everything must look into

Just an update, talked to the people there and they changed for me, no hassles or issues, just inconvenience of making a trip down.
