That's what I would do also. I run tires until I feel them start getting wonky during a heavy rain or can tell they are giving up in the snow. Never cared about date codes.
If one wants to obsess themselves with date codes and internet forum foolishness / drama regarding them, they can have at it, enjoy.
Then they can run out and buy new. One of the fellows at the tire shop will be more than happy to have the old ones and run them for another mess of miles, after you pay them for disposal.
X2 The only tire I ever changed early was a set of Michelins due to sidewall cracking.
