Tirerack blow out of Bridgestone RE-01R

For the 225/50-16 size - it said "Production 2005".

That would not surprise me as I got some of the last of the Production 2007 ones last year.

UPDATE: All the blowout RE01Rs I ordered from Tire Rack have a confirmed manfacture code of 2108. That's pretty fresh ....

That's great news Kev. Must be only the 225/50R16's made in 2008 that we're never shipped to North America. I guess some other size must have been. The last batch of my size we're shipped in 2007 and there also was some 2005 stock kicking around. That's as of Sept 2008. I'm suprised Bridegstone is dumping 08 stock as that is not usually their policy, but with a new tire coming this year who knows.

Oh well, not so good news from Talon. I just spoke with John and they are not having their spring sale on competition tires...So it wil be just your regular MCO member price

Sorry for getting your hopes up,

Picked my set up in Ogdensburg on Sat. They were stamped 20/08. I was losing money not buying these tires!
