Four years old is early even for a Goodyear what’s the date stamp on tires?

Yikes, three months! I don't like the sound of that... especially this time of year.

When I bought my coach it had all brand new Good Year G670's installed 7 years prior to me buying it, they had 3000 miles on them the coach made one trip to FL and back before the owner got sick and stopped using it. After reading the forums I decided for nothing more than piece of mind I would swap them out and went with Yokohama's. I really like the new tires.

I sold the Good Years to a buddy of mine that has an excavation company he installed them on one of his heavy duty low boys that was just about 2 years ago. He is known for running at or over the limit on everything he does. This flat bed is on the road 7 days a week not sure how that works out for math on the miles but it has to be over 100k by now. They are still going strong.

I do not regret the move the piece of mind was well worth it.
