Just last month I too got 6 "new" tires from Camping World in Kississimmee, Fl......and told the service manager I wanted nothing older than 6 months, Goodyear or Michelien......he checked and could not get me a guarantee on the age....claimed to have called the factory and in both cases they said the new ones go to the manufacturers and they have such a back log with the industry being what it is, you basically get what they send.....I ended up with two within three months and the other 4 within 9 months.....feel pretty good, as I did call around the Orlando area and the prices were pretty much the same and the story on age was the same too....also told the warranty starts with date of purchase.......so heres hoping.......
