Not "implying" anything just repeating what the tech at SimpleTire sent me in an email...
Hello,
Thank you for your email to SimpleTire.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the details of DOT to the customers because warehouse won't be able to check the dates on Individual tires and we stock tires which are from 3 months to 4 years old from the date of manufacturing, which is within the industry standard and considered as new Tires.
Please do let us know if you need any more information and we will be more than happy to help you out.
Regards,
Vivek

Thanks for that - but at the risk of being pedantic, he said "industry standard", you said "legal".
It's true that the industry thinks 4 year old tires are OK to sell as new (Heck, I think the industry thinks it's 6 years!), but to my knowledge there is no law or regulation.
