It is not uncommon to have new tire inventory that is one or two years old.

What is important to consider is anecdotal evidence suggests replacing tires after they have been in use after 5 to 7 years, the length of time being your confidence in the tires. After that age we seem to have a greater incidence of tire failures. We do not have actual statistics nor do we have any history on failed tires.

But one critical factor is regardless of how long a tire has been in use, Michelin will not stand behind it after 10 years from its date code, so if you end up with a 5 year date code on a newly installed tire, you are on your own after 5 years of use.

Michelin now honors their warranty based on tread depth and the 10 year rule.
