DO NOT PUT ANY TIRES ON YOUR CAR THAT ARE 3 YEARS OR OLDER!
They are junk even if they have 0 miles on them!
The inside of the tire breaks down.
Out of date tires is the number one cause of highway accidents and blow outs

I have been discussing dates and size and exact model with Discount to get the right model. My question is will the rear tires say Scuderia on the tire?
They are telling me Bridgestone has only one tire with that size.

Here you go Larry, Good Luck!

WOW WOW Talking about helping me out. Thanks a bunch. This should be everything I need to explain to the dealers exactly what I need. I wish I could buy you lunch.

Where did you wind up getting them from, and how were date codes?

I am surprised but I got them from discount tire. I had to specify dates I would accept.Fronts were 33 week 2018 rear were 50 week 2017 and 11th week 2018.
Newer tires than I expected.

Kind of a double edged sword for tire manufacturers and dealers.

First they have a campaign to get old tires out of use, largely based on age, and now they want us to ignore age when they're trying to pass off old stock to new buyers.

Both edges somewhat geared toward cutting the consumer.

Although, Rocketman gives wise advise...

I am looking at getting new tires as my front ones are 10yrs old and my tears are 5yrs old. I called my tire shop and told them the size for the Bridgestones 4 hours later they called back saying they are no longer being made? Is that true?

Specifically they are saying the front tire size 235/45zr18 is no longer in production

I think I can speak for most, the 265 is a perfect choice.

I don't believe anyone has ever suggested this size in a Bridgestone. The correct tires are literally on the same page as your post, with photos and sizes highlighted.

If you gave them the sizes of the Good years, it is no surprise. As Xcentric said, the Bridgestone tire sizes are listed in this thread.

would anyone have the manufactures SKU for the tires?. I want to make sure my tire store does not screw this up.
