Ordered/received tires from Bike Bandit for '73 TX650. Rear tire was manufactured in Indonesia with a date code of LDVM1220. Front tire was manufactured in Japan with a date code of BDVM1819. Looks to me like the front tire is already over a year old. Am guessing useful life is somewhere around 5 years from date of manufacture. Have contacted supplier with dilemma a few minutes ago. Received acknowledgement of query. Am soliciting thoughts/opinions/experiences along these lines. Ideally prefer tires from same manufacturing facility with similar date codes. Reasonable expectation or pipe dream?............
