Here is a video that can be a wake up call and shows how to read the code for tires in the DOT line, for year of manufacture.

We all should know how to read the code for new tire purchases or existing tires on your vehicle!
It is easy, look for the DOT line, last 4 digits in that line are week -then year of manufacture.

Thank you for the lesson, Art! I knew tires dry-rotted after several years (like every spare tire I've owned), but I never knew where the date code was hiding. My tires are all slightly different ages, but fortunately, the oldest one is from Christmas 2011 (barely over two years old).

These inherited tires are Douglas Performance GT-H'*, which seem to be a Walmart exclusive, judging by the number of Google results that mention Walmart. The reviews of these tires are about what I'd expect them to be -- usually somewhere between average and total crap.
