Update: the spare has date...5121. For a March manufactured car, that a bit old. But it's a temporary tyre, T125/80R17, also China made.
3 Months old tire considered quite new especially for a new car.
The newest tire set from Tire shop I am able to get also more than 3 months old.
You've owned few cars before curious to know any of them came with manufacturing date shorter than 3 months?
FYI : British Rubber Manufacturers Association (BRMA) does recommend that new tyres that have not been used for six years or more should not be fitted to vehicles, and that all tyres exceeding 10 years from the date of manufacture must be replaced or disposed of.
So.. even if it came with manufacturing date of 1 year back, the tire is still acceptable in general, anyone who can't accept this is more of a personal preference rather than for it being dangerous for driving.
