I don't get this statement. Shouldn't you get new fresh tires instead of last year's manufacture?

Myth: "This tyre old already, I give you 'new' one. Performance better."

Bridgestone says:
"Tyres with an earlier date of manufacture will perform the same as 'fresher' ones as long as they have been stored properly and are undamaged.

You should hear before that #TyresAreNotBananas by Michelin, Malaysian always assume that newer tires are better and even just last year manufacture tyres are not good.. Tyres don't work that way and this is Malaysian mentality

So you are saying if given you the choice of 2018 and 2019 manufacture tires, you’ll take 2018?

Yep, I always do
Actually, you can't blame the mentality of the business owner, it all started off from the customer who always wants newer tyres then making owner unable to sell older tires hence always resulting them asking for newer tires from distributor/manufacturer. The cycle is like that, and I guess 95% of Malaysian have this problem not knowing the myth even manufacturer always create awareness. Malaysian just like to hear an opinion from their friends & family rather than the seller.

Not to sound sarcastic but it's good to know you'll be taking the stocks which most Malaysians don't prefer.
