Definitely a fair point, but that's how Chevy has been promoting it. See here: http://www.winyourchevy.com/

An excellent point. Should be fixed now.

Oops. Popped the wrong image in there. It should be fixed now.

XK. Thanks for pointing out the typos.

Fixed the typos. Thanks for letting us know!

I would also like to add information about the date coding that is molded on the tire. This will help consumers avoid new old stock tires and old tires on used cars that are not driven much. An RV magazine recently said to avoid tires 8 years old or older because they are more likely to fail even if they look good. I had a total of 5 go bad within a 2 year period on my motorhome. All looked very good with plenty of tread, but they were about 8 to 9 years old when they failed.

If you are not familiar with date coding, a code of 3605 would be the 36th week of 2005. If you have a tire with the old 3 digit code, it is already over 10 years old. The codes are molded on one sidewall near the bead without any other letters or numbers within the molded area.

Let's keep the conversation friendly everybody. Keep the name calling and language in check. Disagreement is encouraged (it makes things more interesting) but personal attacks are not welcome here.

Old comments are being imported into the system but it's a slow process. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the day.
