The YOM is 2811 bought last year in 0612 Well if a shop wan to sell a QC failed tire...ty sud inform u e tire has failed QC. Ty also dun know whats e defect n i definately wud not wan to buy a QC fail tire no matter how cheap. The choice is wh e buyer n ty sud b told it has not passed QC. Buyer then can decide to buy or not. What happen if u get a blow out at 90kmh n crash n later informed by ins co yr tire fail QC n ty not going to pay. Is that fair to u? I certainly dun think so. Shop sud inform buyer why tire on "promotion ". B it old stock...oversupply...closing down... etc. Tire that never pass QC can b very serious n buyer sud b told b4 he buy. And those tires usually sell very very cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If e oval window dun hv any numbers/letters or ty hv been scratched out means tire did not pass QC for some reason. If very serious defect...tire wil b sent fr destruction. Sometimes defect not considered serious or shop get tire from dubious sources n sell to unsuspecting customers. The oval window not only state yom. Its also fr other info in code like QC inspector number....country...factory...etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
