I bought my new front tires from them and the experience was second to none.

I usually buy the tires & certificates from Discount Tire Direct and have them installed at DT. Saves $1-200 every time.

Curious, what are the date codes on the new tires?
Last couple times I went in for tires (America's Tire here in CA) they were 2 years old already. Only an issue later down the road if you keep them as long as I do and they refuse to service them because they age out before they wear out.

I should have looked into that when I bought my Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZPs in ZR1 sizes. That was an expensive trip to Discount Tire, and couple hundred bucks back in my pocket would have been nice.

Dates checked before they were mounted and they are less than 1 year.

That's not bad. I just had my rear tires replaced and the first set they got in was 1822, when I asked for my deposit back they checked again requesting the newest date codes and best they could get was 4522.
