Less than 6 months should be fine.

More than 6 months and less than 1 year can be considered with less price.

More than 1 year with same price = no no

0.5-1 year always the best.tyres are not food,u dont have to go for the latest.for example in 2018.buying 2017/2018 tyre is good.not much issue.the molecules of the rubber are more stable.

i prefer not to use the latest tyre.not sure which correct term to explain.the rubber needs to cure for some time.newly produced tyre,u can feel the rubber are "wet",it wear faster

You'd used the correct technical term here, cure.
In layman term, it is called 'hardened' or 'hardening' .
Personally, I would be too happy to be offered 3 year olds against 3-12 month old , with or without discounts.

Not for me, despite the fact that my XM2 was in use for 5.5 - 6 years over 110 - 120K km usage , considering tyre manufacturers allow usage up to 10 years post production date .
I know journalists would be screaming scared .

just out of curiosity.... do you have any scientific proof or article to support your statement that tire rubber need time to cure before use?

if so.... how much time do you need to wait until it is properly cured? seriously.... I'm curious to know as this is 'news' to me

Plus could you share which manufacturer tire that you're using which you can get it 'freshly' produced from the factory in Malaysia??

read in some article before.cant find it now.
regarding to your freshly produced tyre question,u can get goodyear tyres in the market with manufacturing date 4219 currently, which is quite new(consider freshly produced to me as in month of october u can get tyre made in the same month)
also get to find one video which u can refer
