Hi Mark; I don't have a way to provide a specific date code for the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Silver Mod Wheel # KE42EV. However, we do sell a lot of tires so they typically don't sit on the shelf for a long period of time. Our warehouse is climate controlled and free from UV rays so breakdown won't occur while they're stored. It is also worth noting that the warranty doesn't start until you receive the tires.

Do you currently have a 5 on 4-3/4 bolt pattern? This isn't a common bolt pattern so I would double check just to be sure.

I bought two of these Kendra tires 7 or 8 years ago for my 4x8 utility trailer and have never had a problem with them. More recently I bought two more for my 5x10 landscape trailer, but ordered 15" with 5 on 4-1/2 pattern. When I discovered they would not fit, returning them was made simple and I received the correct tires in just a couple days. If I need trailer tires in the future, I would not hesitate to order through eTrailer. Getting the chrome center cap and lug nuts really dress up the old trailer, too.

I actually bout this as a spare tire for my street rod since it's a Chevy bolt pattern and fits my spare tire well. I'd recommend buying the plastic bolt pattern tool that has several bolt patterns. The paper on can be off and I did order 2 wrong rims for my other trailer.
