Amazing deal on a closeout for a single tire to replace a damaged one. Date code is also pretty close to the one it replaces. As for the tires, they re sticky has heck but I had a puncture out near the shoulder so tire place would not patch it. United Tires saved me about $200 in this case. Will buy from them again
