Less than 6 months should be fine.
More than 6 months and less than 1 year can be considered with less price. More than 1 year with same price = no no |

QUOTE(wannoradzahari @ Nov 1 2018, 11:07 AM) 0.5-1 year always the best.tyres are not food,u dont have to go for the latest.for example in 2018.buying 2017/2018 tyre is good.not much issue.the molecules of the rubber are more stable. |

Personally, I would be too happy to be offered 3 year olds against 3-12 month old , with or without discounts. This post has been edited by zeng: Oct 6 2019, 06:11 PM |
