I just bought some Nokians from Amazon and had them installed at Sears.
I glanced at them and saw a 2016 date code, and wasn't thrilled, but didn't think it was a deal breaker.
Later, I looked at the others and found 2015 date codes, so two of the four (new) tires are over three years old.
I called Amazon. I wanted to get them to discount the tires, but they are replacing them and partially refunding me.
It could be worse, but I have the hassle of having to make another appointment and sending the old tires back.
I think the lesson for me is to have tires shipped to me first, so that I can take a look before they are mounted. I had had them shipped to Sears.
