A tire shop was trying to say my tires need changing because the year stamp on one was 2012 and the other was 2013 but I got them installed in 2015. I would think tires get manufactured and stored then the slow boat to the USA, sitting in a warehouse, then purchased by tire places could be a while and as long as they are sealed then they are fine. I'm sure there is even a big difference in tires that are parked outside in the weather versus in a garage. They hugged the road perfect up Angeles Crest this last summer so maybe that place just wants to make some sales.
