Default Tire Production Question...

Just got 2 new GY F1 GS2 EMT, I paid $566 for two.
Well it looks like they were produced 3008 (Aug 2008?)

Are these too old to use?
Was the price too good to be true?

The tires you bought are considered current productions.
The Tire Rack and I think American Tire both had special sales recently on tires, but they were much older than yours and obviously were not good enough for them to sell them at the regular price. Most tire people prefer not to use tires more than 5 or 6 years old.
