That sucks, I like to change my tires at 5 years from manufactured date, but those are ones that have been driven for nearly all of that.
My tires rarely last that long.

Absolutely. I would not accept a 5 year old tire.

Had the same thing happen on new tires ordered for a 04Z06. Tires were 4 years old based on mfg. date.

Got in a big argument with the "tire dealer" who blamed it on the distributor warehouse. Told him it was not my problem .

For the poor people who don't know about this problem, I feel for them and their safety.
