Tire date codes

Tire date codes

Postby Liz » Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:12 pm

Buying new tires for the Honda today. I had a conversation with the service mgr about date codes and had her check the dates on the tires they had in stock. She quoted me a 2013 date, so I agreed. Service took 5 hours, so when done I hurried to let Thistle out and didn't look at the tires until I got there. 2012! So I'm back at the Honda dealer and they are making it right. I got both free breakfast earlier and now free lunch.

So the moral is check before and after they put the tires on. And there is no such thing as free lunch, lol.

Glad you checked and glad they took care of it. And there went your day.

I was such a PITA to the Michelin dealer about getting me new current tires that he made a point of showing me the codes when they installed them. :lol: :lol:
