My 2017 tyres are slightly cracked and I want to replace them all.
The local and National tyre fitters I have contacted don't keep stock but rely on Wholesalers or manufactures warehouses.
As Motorhome tyres are likely to be replaced because of age rather than milage it would be reasonable that
the set of 5 be matched in date of production and be as young as possible.
Problem is the manufactures and wholesalers will not check the dates.
The attitude is you take what we send and they will not accept rejection because of this mismatch.
Further if the tyre is produced in the last 3 years its considered new.
This is all fine from their point of view

Anyone know of a supplier that will go the extra mile and have a look at the date they were made ?

Im looking for 5 of 225/75R16 118 Michelin Cross Climate Camping Tyre or Continental Van Contact Camper tyres.

Bit of a trek from Wiltshire but I got 5 Conti's (0123's) in February from Sidlesham Tyres near Chichester. May have been a bit pot luck though I had asked for not more than three months old.

ASDA Tyres have them from the 12th in your area (Michelin X climate Campers)
