Hi All,
getting ready to change out 295/80R22.5 on our 2005 Camelot...
got to thinking, what do we all really want in a new tire... safety, quiet, reliability, peace of mind, 7 years from born on date, a nice looking tread pattern, & a good $ deal. Been a little tough. So, once again I researched tires, internet style, and something new popped up. Simpletire, so I called them up. Got to customer service and talked to a very knowledgeable rep (seemed to know alot).. 1st Q I asked, born on date, can I get recent. She replied, NO. She said all tires sold are less than 4 years old, and that if I was unhappy, with the born on date, I received, that I could call back and work out a return/exchange to better satisfy my youthful born on date concerns. I then asked, what are your best sellers in this size? (thus likely to get young tires). She replied, after looking it up for the 295/80R22.5.... Sailun, Sampson, Double Coin, and Toyo, in that order, thus more likely to get a youthful born on date. For me, it is much about the born on date, cause I don't want to do this again for 7 years. And here they are, Make, Model, TOTAL PRICE for a set of 6 tires Delivered to your favorite installer, and Picture. BTW, double coin appears to be an Amazon favorite (check it out on Amazon). Just passing along the 2017 internet search results, and hoping to get young tires, VERY YOUNG TIRES, SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN ANYTIME SOON
SAILUN S606 $1,935
SAMSON GL266D $2,312
DOUBLE COIN RR680 $2,270
TOYO M144 $2,497
