Looks like I may end up back on NT01s. For those of you who have purchased this size (315-30-18), what were your tire build codes/dates and where did you purchase them?

No one has bought a set of these tires recently?

I bought some mid summer last year, would knowing the build dates on those be helpful? I can send them this evening when I get home. Not sure if data from a purchase last year is useful for you, let me know

Thanks Dan, that would be great.

Three of my four tires were 3915 and one tire was 1516
Ordered from discount tire online

Yes, I just picked up 4, all with the 3915 build date. Interesting that they obviously had fresher tires in stock previously and even 9 months later hadn't got rid of their old stock. This is always a potential issue with buying tires from a large warehouse as they don't keep track of build dates (or at least won't let you know what they are before they ship). Fortunately the NT01 seems remarkably resistant to heat cycling and at least somewhat resistant to aging. I guess we will see.

If I had a local dealer bring in 18 month old tires, I might well have bought them anyway but I was told on the phone they were getting fresh shipments to at least one warehouse almost weekly so assumed they wouldn't have 18 month old stock.
