most people, including dealers don't check the tire dates. they check tread depth.
i used to not, until my family took a vacation with a dual-axle trailer, and ended up blowing out 6 tires on the trailer(dual spares), and 5 on the tow vehicle, all separate instances. all were over 7 years old and had no visible signs of cracking.
also, only 4300 miles?!? what's even the point of keeping it around? if i don't drive my car at least once a week, i start getting withdrawal!

I have 3 cars and I only drive it on nice days, I try to drive it as much as possible, but it becomes difficult in the Northeast when it seems to rain a lot. I also store in from Mid November to Mid April, so it doesn't get driven at all then.
I'm ok with the low miles, because I know I will be enjoying it for years to come.
