First off, a
BIG THANK YOU to
Spotsbimmer for hooking us up
I went to Costco this evening and they didn't so much as bat an eye about the price. The tires are identical to the factory ZR SP2's they replaced, well aside from the newer date code and a LOT more tread.
These are as fresh as they get, the date code on both tires is 0708, which should be July, 2008.
Congrats, and enjoy the deal for those who took the leap of faith
