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!

I wish they would have re-numbered them rather than just updating the information about them.... not that the "old" 016's were bad, but now they are OLD. So, not only could you get something that's been sitting in a warehouse BUT - you could get the OLD compound.

I buy through the trackside race supply

The only way to know the date is to have them.... The date is stamped on every tire made (tire rack has a great guide on it). But, the trouble with buying online is you could easily get what you pay for.

There's a set of 4 numbers on your tires. First 2 are the week, last two are the year. Or vice versa.

5108 means made in the third week of December of 08. If its the other way, I apologize. But, you get the idea.

to your question about how old is too old?


A 2 minute google search (top result for searching "motorcycle tire too old") told me to never get anything over 6-7 years old and that in general, the newer the better. That was a hell of a lot easier than posting a question on here then proceeding to make your self look extra douchey today, huh?

Yea,but the funniest thing is that the BT-016 tires have only been out for a couple of years. That was my point about the age of the tire not having ant real impact in this case. The compound issue she was addressing was due to the difference between the OEM tires and the aftermarket buns which has nothing to do with age,as far as I know...

I guess it's just a crime to ask questions these days because it just means a bigger douche has to come along with the "use the search function" reply instead of taking those 2 minutes to post the answer.

But hey whatever works for ya!

Sorry, it irritates me when people use the forum in place of google.
