I've been going back and forth with a tire store for the past 2 months. I asked for tires that were no more than 6 or 7 months old. The tires arrived and they are 1 year old, which is better than the 2 year old tires he was trying to sell me in the beginning. FYI, I have 22.5 inch tires.
I don't know how much you drive, but, . . . . you should be able to buy RV tires with a reasonable remaining retail shelf life. IMO, 6 months is reasonable retail turnaround. I would tell the "dealer" that you replace your tires every 5 years regardless of mileage due to safety concerns. (the dealer doesn't know how much you drive) If the dealer insists on selling you aging tires, say 2 years old for example, I would ask the dealer for a 2/5 or 40% discount because of their age considering the allowable life remaining. (3 years in time) If they won't cooperate/negotiate, or get you newer tires, . . . . hit the road, . . . . immediately. Find a dealer that actually "sells" RV/truck tires for a living, . . . everyday!
