note to self: add continental to the list of tires not to buy

also look at the date on the tires - some tires you buy "brand new" are 10+ years old and have been sitting on a shelf when they only have a 6 year shelf life - beware of the "manager's special"

i bought a set "brand new" for my truck before, checked the date and they were 9 years old - made them give me a set made within the same year for the same price
