NTB National Tire & Battery, Manager Gregory Thurman NTB SELLS TIRES THAT ARE ALMOST 7 YEARS OLD AS NEW!!!! Missouri City, Texas

I have been an employee of NTB in Missouri for the past three years. Now, I do not agree with putting on a 6 year old tire and letting you drive down the street with that tire. I do absolutely agree with putting that tire on and letting you know. just because there are those tires in that warehouse dosent mean they are exposed to the elements.

Those tires are kept in that warehouse for a reason; keep them out of the elements. you have to keep tires not in use in around 70 ish degrees, at about 60 percent relative humidity. Now, on to what someone was talking about on 20/20 when someone stated that tires could not be mounted on a vehicle that are more than 6 years old, is not entirely true. in fact, it is 100% false now. i have tires on my car that are 8 years old and others that are 2 months old and i honestly cannot tell the difference. And that is coming from a mechanic with 20 years under his belt. The only mistake you might have made is you failed to look at your receipt, they might have made a note on there that said the tires were older.
