I ordered tires for my Z06, Goodyear F1 G2s one of the tires that came in was manufactured in 2012. How old is to old of a tire to put on your car??

That sucks, I like to change my tires at 5 years from manufactured date, but those are ones that have been driven for nearly all of that.
My tires rarely last that long.

Absolutely. I would not accept a 5 year old tire.

Had the same thing happen on new tires ordered for a 04Z06. Tires were 4 years old based on mfg. date.
Got in a big argument with the "tire dealer" who blamed it on the distributor warehouse. Told him it was not my problem .
For the poor people who don't know about this problem, I feel for them and their safety.
