I'm ASSUMING the answer is "no" BUT is there anything I can do if I was sold 6+ y/o tires?

Question

3 out of the 4 like new tires I bought earlier this year have blown almost resulting in horrible accidents. The individual I purchased the tires from earlier this year said they weren't old (1yr or less) and they did still have the nubs on them. From the end of July through 9/2 I've had 3 tires go on me. One had a tear and the other 2 had the tread just peel off. I know the answer is most likely no BUT is there anything I can do about the tire issues? Thanks

If you have proof that they sold you old old stock , Make them refund your money and go somewhere else.
Tell them you'll Report them to the Better Business Bureau if they dont make it right.

you got what you paid for.

learn your lesson.   

Seriously?  Have you ever heard of Starfire tires before?  that should've been your first warning sign.

Next you'll be complaining about your Panasoniac or a Sory electronics  equipment.

I really doubt that anything can be done at this point,very sorry.
FYI-All tires have a date code on the side wall.You can read it on the existing tire and at least know when it was made.
