I would not worry about the sidewall manufacture date unless it is more than two years in the past.

Please post what you get. All the reports seem to be aged less than a year.

As long as new batteries are going in... this is a good time to review your charging system. Plan on changing the converter if it is a WFCO. Or need to add solar.

Tire Rack delivered to my local America's tire has been my go to for the last 30 plus tires for my fleet. Tire rack now offers pick up in my area, saved another 60 bucks on shipping minus of course 2 gallons of fuel for the trip.
I have denied each offer to warranty the tires. I have over 300 in my warranty bank account, only withdrew once to replace one tire on my Jeep. Remember folks, 72% of extended warranties are n e v e r used. ( Consumer reports)

When I bought mine from Amazon they were about 2 months old and were shipped directly from Goodyear itself in Goodyear, AZ.

FedEx just delivered my new tires. All three are dated 3622, so, my new tires are less than 2 months old. I am having WalMart mount them on Monday morning. As someone else said, I only bought 3 tires because my single axle trailer only has 3 wheels, including the spare.

We have a 17 ft TT because that is about the biggest trailer that we can get into our camping spot on our land. The creek that we cross and corners going down the logging road do not allow for a longer trailer. I had to cut down a bunch of trees to make a spot big enough to turn around with the 17 footer. No way am I backing out 1/2 a mile to get out.

When I bought the TT 4 years ago, the first thing I did was install a Progressive converter. My experience with WFCO was not good so my brand new WFCO went in the trash. I have never had a problem with the three Progressive converters that I have installed on previous RV's. My install of the golf cart batteries is also completed.

We will be using the TT for a couple of weeks off grid this fall at my property in the southwestern Wisconsin. I will be topping off the batteries with my generator.

I had WalMart mount my tires today and put them on the TT. I had them put metal valve stems on while they were mounting them. I also put fresh batteries in my TPMS on all 6 wheels to avoid problems.
Later this week we will be leaving for a 9 day trip so we will see if the tires feel any different. I had no complaints about how the original tires rode.

We just got back from our 9 day stay at our property. The weather was great most days but the nights got a little chilly. We had lows of about 15 to 20 degrees so the furnace got a work-out.
The new golf cart batteries held up really well and every morning they only lost about .2 volts according to my cheapy voltage meter. My old marine starting/utility battery would be very low every morning.
I should have done the change when we bought the TT but we got by, just had to run the generator more.
