Yeah, I saw that they showed a pic of a truck retread and acted like it was the tread off of a regular tire that had failed due to age. Bit of false advertising like what Ross was pointing at.
FWIW I buy my tires at Costco, and have for years. When I get tires they have in stock, they're usually only a month or two old. But I also pick out my own tires when I buy 'em and make sure I get the newest ones they've got. Though I had to order a PS2 a month back as none of the Costco's around here stock PS2's. It was a year old. No big deal though as I don't quite get 2 years out of a PS2 anyways.
