Hi guys, few months ago i went to workshop which i never go before to change tire. Everything goes fine until someone told me that my tires are not suitable to be used. The average year of the tire are 15 years, the workshop boss charge me 130 for each tire, 13 inch 1. Is it legal for selling overage tire to other? I'm new to car thing so can someone guide to me for this?

How old is your 'new' tyre?

15 years? are you kidding me? you get 2012 stock at that price.

oh wait, you are paying more for the antique value of the tires

15 or 1.5 yrs?

Sry for late reply, i checked my tires, the ages stamp are 0601, 2902, 2903, 0202. I think average is 20 years.
even tough there is no problem, but i'm getting worried about that.

So, you've got tyres manufactured in 2001, 2002, 2003 and another in 2002.

You got duped baaaaaaaaaaad. People don't use tyres that old.

For your info, for car safety, the manufacturer will only recommend a tyre's useful life is about 3 years (although you can use it until 4 - 5 years) . From my understanding, a tyre usually have a warranty period of 3 years from the date of purchase.

It seems like you're being cheated by this tyre shop. I suggest that you go to another tyre shop, ask them to double check the manufacturing date. If confirm these tyres are manufactured in 2001 / 2002 / 2003, you take your bill and go back to this tyre shop and ask them to change the tyres immediately!

Con.job.....take photos as evidence. Go bck to shop refund. U will definitely be con again for getting new n fresh tyres for super expensive price. Why not u let us know which shop?
Record down your conversation between u n shop operator, go complain to consumer tribunal o which ever that can make it big
Damn the conman

yes, put the shop name and location here!

Con big time
Using 10 yr old tire is just suicidal

Sorry for the late reply, and also the for report the age wrongly, not 20 years is 10 years. But still the tires are not suitable to be used. Anyway i have upload the receipt and everyone please beware of this shop. I will find the workshop dealer to change for new tires.
