Since we're all now aware of where to find the manufacture date of tires, has anyone had experience with buying a new car and refusing to accept old tires? We have a 2007 Murano which came with tires manufactured in 2004. If you refused to accept the vehicle with two year old tires, would the dealer be able to find more recent tires, or would they say, "take it or leave it." We have no immediate plans to buy another car but I'd be willing to take a hard line on this. We'd never have accepted a new car with three year old tires.
