Just make sure when you are buying new tires that you do check the DOT on them. A buddy was telling me that he bought tires a year ago at a discount tire seller/installer. He had an issue this past spring with it (these are on his car, not trailer, but still relevant) and when he took it in for warranty it turned out the tire had been manufactured in 2003 and was well out of its warranty. The selling dealer was gone and his good deal on tires evaporated as he paid for a replacement.

His current tire supplier told him that when ever he buys tires he should insist they write the DOT info for each tire on his receipt just so he is sure they are current tires, and also so there is no question with the warranty follow up.
