Hell, there were people HERE in Austin that didn't understand dates on tires and bought old tires from Cycle Gear in person. They were BT016's - which the product number has been out for a few years - you just need to make sure you're getting the NEW compound and not the OLD ones.

The ONLY way to do that is with a date check.

I love you Zoomie! Call me! man,I was just fucking with you,yeesh! Now,I understand that the BT-016 have been out for a few years but as far as a compound change goes...that's the difference between the OEM tires and the aftermarket tires baby cakes. Last I knew the OEM buns cost WAY more than the aftermarket tires. I will admit that I thought you were saying that the tires might be "bad" because of age which would be absurd. Anyway,sorry for teasing you buttercup!
