I have used tirerack ALOT! Just got tires fro SEL from them about a month ago. Had son take them to be mounted/balanced. When I was doing some brake work this past week, I noticed the date code in the sidewall. Tires were a year and a half old and I just got them! Since tires seem to have a five years fuse built into them anymore, I am more than unhappy. Then again, I may use them on the car at StarFest this year so they might not last until the five year mark.
