I just received my new front Pirelli Angel GT in the mail. The tire has the DOT number with 2813 in an oval at the end of the string of characters (DOT EB 2R R172 "2813" - my quotes indicates numbers in oval). This tells me the tire was manufactured in the 28th week (Middle of July) of 2013 and is therefore 4 years old.
Would you accept this as new? The tire will probably last me two to 3+ years on my bike (4 to 5000 miles/year).
