Local Sailun dealer has 4 DOT 3919 tires. Freshest he can get for now. eBay merchant can guarantee 2119. 3919 is still 8 months old and the warranty applies to manufacture date not date of installation.

Nuh, uh!! Sailun's warranty starts from the date of purchase.

All Sailun tire lines are warranted against failures due to defects in workmanship & materials for the life of the original tread, or 5 years from the date or purchase, (whichever occurs first).

Thanks for clarifying. This is where I misunderstood:

LIMITED WARRANTY AGAINST DEFECTS-PRORATED
STA shall replace an eligible Sailun Medium Radial Truck Tire covered by
this limited warranty that becomes unserviceable due to a defect in design,
workmanship, or material after the first 50% of the original tread life on a
prorated basis. The amount of the allowance is determined based on the
percentage of the original “Useable Tread” remaining when the tire is presented
for adjustment. The percentage allowance is applied to the purchase price of
a comparable new Sailun Medium Radial Truck Tire or other comparable tire
brand marketed by TBC Corporation. You are responsible for paying for the
price of the warranty replacement tire after the appropriate warranty allowance
is deducted plus the charges for mounting and balancing the replacement
tire as well as any applicable fees and/or taxes. The benefits of this limited
warranty for defects in design, material and workmanship terminate once the
Useable Tread of a Sailun Medium Radial Truck Tire has been exhausted or eight
(8) years from date of manufacture indicated on the tire, whichever is earlier.

All Sailun products are covered by an industry leading new 6-year
warranty.
