[TPR] 2012 SSCC Update from the field

[bob Radefeld]

Wow John, it's hard to believe that Tire Rack would send out tires that are
that old?!! I've bought my last two sets of tires from them & the code
dates have always been in the year I purchased them? I'd think you should
be contacting them & questioning why those tires were that old & STILL in
their inventory!
