DOT Date Stamp on Trailer Tires

Question:
Hello, Im interested in five Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D Item # TTWTRTM2157514D and due to the short safe usable life according to DOT date stamped on tires, how can I be assured I would receive 5 tires made in 2017?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Tires that have been stored properly (Not mounted and out of the elements) will last several years before there's any reason to be concerned. We move tires fairly quickly, especially common sizes, and store them in a warehouse to keep them safe. Purchasing tires with a date stamp of 2016 or even 2015 right now isn't an issue. I just went to our warehouse and verified the # TTWTRTM2157514D tires are stamped 2416 which is early June of 2016.
