like said above, check the DOT # on the tires which indicates the age. you dont want to run anything that is more that six years old, and once a tire hits 10 years old it is determined to be unsafe to service by tire industry standards. also, DONT buy retreads. they are cheap and unsafe, and if you look at that website, you can buy new tires in a 235/75-15 for about the same price as a retread. just something that i would NEVER put on my vehicle from a safety standpoint, ill spend a little more to be safe. plus i dont want a bfgoodrich sidewall and goodyear tread pattern. ghetto...
When i went to have them balanced; (this was in 2008) at discount they told me the tire was from 95/96... the wall thickness of those tires put these new tires to shame.. they were some good tires. Shame they were discontinued and replaced over the years with cheaper design.
I'm Canadian. Tires are alot more expensive here than in the US so I didn't get ripped off - that's just how it is.
Even if I ordered online id still half to pay the same amount to get it shipped here, and then pay more to have them put on.
