    Hello All,

    I just had new tires last week and I just checked they were manufactured in November 2019, Costco said it is completely fine, they go up to 2 years for installation and warranty would not be any less

    I am bit worried as it appears to be new old stock as I am already taking it back in for re-balancing again.

    Tires are bridgestone turanze quiettrack 245/45/17

    Any suggestions on what to do next would be helpful.

    They are fine. A lot of discount places have "older stock" tires.
    If they were 3 or 4 years, that would be different, but a year? It's not a problem.

    I found that new tires with that extra few millimeters of squishy rubber around them always made slightly worse mileage than tires that were just about done. I could even notice that on my 3/4 ton diesel pickup.
