    New tire age

    I bought some new tires online at simple tire. Tires came with a manufacturer date 4618, so 46th week of 2018. Plan to put em on next season. Is that something to cause a stink about? Tires already 3 years old? They seem fine and still have a greasiness to em from release compound. I'm going to keep em in the heated basement as well.
