I took a walk out to our warehouse earlier today (8/7/23) to check the date code on a few of these tires. The Provider # TTWTRTM2358016E tires that I looked at had a date code 1822. So they were manufactured the 18th week of 2022. It is very common for our tires to be around a year to 18 months old when they go out the door. In this day and age, that is actually not bad. That being said, we cannot guarantee a specific date code on our tires. If you do order a few of the # TTWTRTM2358016E I expect the date code to be around mid last year. I will say that to my eyes, these tires did look brand new.
Tire manufacturers state that tires do not age in proper storage. Our warehouse is climate controlled and is ideal for tire storage.
