Hi,

Im being offered a decent deal on some NEW tyres...the fronts are manufactured mid 2012 and I have no issue with that. The rears are early 2011.... and I'm thinking that might be the wrong side of borderline in terms of being too old.

How old a tyre would you buy? wheres your limit on NEW tyres??

thanks!

depends on the price

if less than two years old no biggie

if 2-5 years i'd want a discount

I heard that 5yrs+ is a no go.
