QUOTE(leehernandez @ Oct 6 2019, 04:22 PM) i prefer not to use the latest tyre.not sure which correct term to explain.the rubber needs to cure for some time.newly produced tyre,u can feel the rubber are "wet",it wear faster You'd used the correct technical term here, cure. In layman term, it is called 'hardened' or 'hardening' . Personally, I would be too happy to be offered 3 year olds against 3-12 month old , with or without discounts.

QUOTE(watabakiu @ Oct 7 2019, 01:20 PM) 3 years is a bit too old? Not for me, despite the fact that my XM2 was in use for 5.5 - 6 years over 110 - 120K km usage , considering tyre manufacturers allow usage up to 10 years post production date .I know journalists would be screaming scared .
