First I would give a negative five if I could. BAIT AND SWITCH masters!!! Don't buy anything online from this morally bankrupt company Bought "new" tires. Got three year old new tires not made in 2025, not made in 2024, but made the EARLY 2023. First the manufacturer warranty for these tires starts at date of manufacture not date of purchase, so six months to a year old is fine. Time eats tires as rubber degrades with time. This is for a classic Harley that will go to shows and local outings and not use up tires like a touring bike that gets lots of miles. The tires these are replacing aged out and tread depth is fine , but as the sidewalls are showing age and are now cracking. Normal new tires up to a year old means 20 percent of the warranty that you pay for is gone. After this point price adjustment becomes needed. It is HORRIBLE that HALF of the manufacturer defect warranty is gone and tire is just getting mounted. What starts out as a fair deal slides straight into "Bait and Switch" and because tires degrade with age the six years the manufacturer will stand behind these tires is half used up GONE, and the drop dead must change at ten years is 30 percent gone at time of purchase and this abnormally high age was NOT DISCLOSED UP FRONT. STG more than likely buy these old new tires at significant discounts and will sell them to you as new for a what appears to be a reasonable price IF they were actually manufactured at any date in 2025. The price quickly becomes unreasonable upon delivery and the SURPRISE shows up. The two tires cost me 339 dollars and STG will take them back (at a cost to me to return them of 50 dollars as surely their return policy is disclosed up front). Too bad they aren't honest enough to disclose the very high age for a new tire prior to shipping them and being exposed to the high return costs. This is a sleezebag strategy. NONSENSE. WOW Standard Industry practice they will tell you. REALLY? This is far and away the oldest new tires I've ever gotten! BY A HUGE MARGIN. In fact the oldest new tires I've ever received in the large amount of new tires I have purchased were less than six months old when mounted BUT up to a year old is just fine. So much for STG's standard industry practice deflection. They've successfully pawned off their age degraded inventory on me knowing that most customers are not going to pay astronomical shipping return costs and keep them. This company is pure SLEEZE ! LIVE AND LEARN Only buy new tires by learning before paying for them the date of manufacture whether buying online or in person or be faced with high return costs and delivery of SURPRISE three year old new tires.
