I got burnt also on a set of Michelin front tires from the dealer in Tampa I bought my Newell from. I had him put on a new set of fronts before we picked it up. They looked new but when I got home and was going over everything I found out they were 7 years old stock! After talking with dealer he said no problem, bring it back and we'll make it right. Yeah right, it would have been the same cost in fuel to pay for 2 new tires here! Anyway I stuck to my guns and they replaced them using a local dealer. But it took 2 months. I did talk to someone at Michelin and he said he wouldn't put 7 year old "new" tires on a motorhome especially not on the front.
So always verify the DOT codes!
