This whole tire date topic this time around really has me wondering about the larger truck and bus tires. I’m sure many other folks are pondering on this thought as

well. How many tire dealers are actually selling old stock new tires around the country? You would think we would have a law on the books in which tire

manufacturers would give some kind of credit to dealers on trading in old inventories. I don’t think it should be a total loss on the manufacturer’s part knowing it isn’t

their fault. If the tire manufacturers gave a credit say at their cost of manufacturing, wouldn’t that sound fair?



There should be something in place to keep tires from sitting on shelves past a certain date. In trucking this doesn’t pose the same problem since trucks roll many

more miles vs. an RV.
