I’ve got a few various sets over the years from eBay. I believe that saying is just referring to plugs.

Used tires are not always cheaper; compare total cost including shipping
eBay works well for used tires. Got RFTs for my bmw lease there, around 80-100 per tire. Was actually cheaper than best used tires at the time.

ive been looking for my x3 lol
Wow, I even went to look and didn’t see that. Am I going to die if I put on tires made in 2017?
Or is it possible that the installer will refuse to install due to the potential liability?
[I know almost nothing about tires, except where they’re located on the car]
Also, fyi, AAdvantage eShopping is paying 3 miles/dollar at Tire Rack right now. 
Performance driving is get the best. But around town and trips it’s fine.
Thanks to @firstkill I have two tires on the way, saving $200+.
AAdvantage eShopping will yield 1,260 AA miles, and Tire Rack offers mobile installation, so now I don’t even need to leave the house.

I used the same deal for my X5 50 in 21"
Pzeros at a huge discount just cause of old date. No issues with them.
Edit: did this 8k+ miles ago, just to reassure you of my personal experience.

Just had these delivered to my BMW dealer and they will be doing the install.
My dealer was charging $356 per tire vs. $190 per tire for the same tire!
I was also concerned about production date but I’ll take my risk of $664 savings with 16k miles left on my x5 lease.

I’ve gotten some cheap replacements for my bmw from a BMWCCA member. Exchanged in the parking lot nearby, Great guy, great deal. Check their classifieds from time to time.

Out of curiosity, did you mean this literally (they were already delivered when you posted that)?
My order is just stubbornly sitting there doing nothing. Availability still stays “In Stock.”
Never seen that across multiple TR orders over the years.
Call or email their CS reps who are usually good.
