I would have expected a newer tire from such a large tire dealer. Sarah, in Customer Service quickly sent me a prepaid return label and I'll get a refund once the tires arrive back to them and are processed. She also set up a new order for the same tires and is holding it until i call with my CC # after the refund is processed. She also arranged to have the replacements sent directly to them in Philly so they can see the date codes before they ship to me. Before I turned the tires over to UPS, I took a look at the date code on the front tire and was quite surprised to see 2012 and made in China. Sarah says their goal is to ship tires newer than 2 years but year 2012? Somebody dropped the ball.
If for some reason the second set of Metzelers are unacceptable, I'll order Bridgestone BT54's from Chapparel.
Receiving old "new" tires is a real bummer as far as I'm concerned. The fact that they are going to check the date codes before shipping is pretty cool. Hopefully you end up with tires that you are satisfied with when all is said and done.
