I go thru 3 sets of tires every year. One set on the CB and two sets on the ST, so unless a tire is over 4 years old it would be of no concern to me. As a matter of fact I never looked at the date on my tires and never have. Not really sure where it is even. I'm more concerned with wear bars. I have a set in the garage now I got from Revzilla just last week and have no idea when they were made. Don't really care. By end of this summer they will be worn out lol.
I can certainly understand someone else's concern over the issue though, and given a choice when ordering, I'd opt for newer tires over older tires..just because. I think from a distributors point of view though, if the tires are within date, I see no issue with sending them out but I doubt that they even check that. They just get the order, go to the rack, grab the right size/model/brand of tires and wrap them up for shipping.
