hey Luke,

does specifying a wherhouse that has a tire on back order guarantee that tire to be 'fresh' from the manufacturer? or do you move tires from one wherhouse to another? (I am the kind of guy who buys the milk with the longest expiration dates,,,,,)

me too ... but, the answer is NO it will not guarantee a "fresh" tire .... many times we recieve tires from the manufacturers that are a couple of years old already (especially if they are made in Europe) .... but, a tires shelf life is about six years so, I wouldn't worry too much about the tires age
