"but selling tires that are faulty due to age as 'new' because they have never been on a rim is just bunk..."
i'm not arguing that point because i agree with you whole-heartedly. i'm not sure where the breakdown is: the manufacturers, who obviously have overproduced, and don't know how to maintain a 6 year replacement cycle; or the retailers, who obviously have overbought, and don't cycle their inventory.
if they would stop fighting the issue they currently have, accept a 6 year cycle, and use some intelligence to refine the process, they would become more efficient and produce less strain on the environment.
