A whole lot of pointless worry when the youngest thing on a 25 year old bike might be a new slightly expired 5 year old tire...

You got a point there Tom. Hell probably the whole bike is past it's expiration date.A whole lot of pointless worry when the youngest thing on a 25 year old bike might be a new slightly expired 5 year old tire...
I love it when you talk dirty.
Actually yes really. My point wasn't about putting a newer tire in the post but a response to the "should have tried to do something to work with you from a customer satisfaction perspective" perspective. There are a number of ways they could have done something that didn't include hold of a fresher tire such as offer a discount on the tire or the next purchase blah blah. My point was — under the circumstances I don't think there was reason to do so. It wasn't as if Chaparral made a mistake or acted in bad faith. So I'm saying that it's reasonable for to offer a polite and tactful "Sorry but that's not going to happen". (I could never own a business either.)
Now maybe somebody contacting the San Bernardino store could make an arrangement to get a fresher tire but I think that could/would and probably should cost extra as they may not be in the habit of doing shipments from that store. I dunno. I've only ordered tires online once and whatever they sent was fine by me.

I just fitted a 3-year old new tire to the front of my bike. I'm not worried about it in the least.
I would be, aren't you supposed to fit it to the rim, not the front of the bike?
Same hear, I know about the date but payed it no mind. I did have a shop check the date before they installed my tires.
That's if there is a kid pulling the tire. Most likely a Robot automated machine pulled the tire off the rack.
