I ordered a set of four BF Goodrich Touring T/A from my local Sam's Club a couple weeks ago. I had them installed there on Thursday evening.
However, I realized yesterday that the date of manufacture was 3212 (the 32nd week of 2012, or roughly early August of last year). Doesn't this seem a little too "unfresh?" I've purchased tires there before, and they were no more than a couple months old.
Am I making too much of a deal with this, or do you feel that Sam's should give, say a 15% discount (as one year divided by the 6-year recommended lifespan of a tire is roughly 15%)?
What would you do?
Thanks,
Ryan
