Tires Date

If the date code has only 3 digits, run as they are over 19 years old!

Agree, If there is a 18 on there leave them there. When you buy tires. Specify NEW tires. Yes they age in the warehouse just like they do on your rims

Being retired now I only put about 10,000 miles per year on my truck. I would not buy new tires over one year old, and preferably much less.

Vehicle tires are generally worn out before they expire due to age. If they are in reasonably good condition you should be good for another couple of years on that truck.

Depend on their use.
When I was on the road I could use tires that were 2 years old because I could wear them out in 50k-70k miles and 8-9 months.

Now if the tires are on a vehicle that sees maybe 3500 miles a year then I would want them 6 months or newer.

Or if the truck carried a heavy truck camper I would want them fresh also.
