When I ordered my T32s in October of 2024, the tires I received were older than I appreciated. One of the tires had a date code of "5020" meaning it was 3 years and 10 months old already when I received it. The online vendor who I ordered from declined to swap the tires for a newer pair. I was provided some boiler-plate response about proper tire storage and ageing.
The tires ride fine thus far, though I haven't put many miles on them. Tip-in certainly is quicker than the 7 year old squared-off OEM D205s they replaced.
Also, after ordering my T32s I've come to the realization that from now on ill be searching UK, European, and Pacific/Asian based online vendors in addition to US based online vendors for my motorcycle tires in the future, as they get tire types and sizes not available to me here in the USA.
