Tires I purchased in November were made in Germany ( Michelins) and 3 months old when I got them... that was OK by me.

Tires 6 months old sitting in a warehouse will b just fine!
Assuming the OP is buying trailer tires (no idea if toyo makes any), it's relevant....but the OP going way beyond the pale with a 1 month requirement.
For cars/trucks, most tires wear out when the tread is gone long before they age out. It would be unusual to get to 5yrs before wearing out a pair.
Trailer tires on the other hand often have good tread at 6-8yrs old but the material has aged out to the point they are no longer reliable.
But again, expecting 1 month is silly and unrealistic.

It is a commonly held belief within the tire industry that any tire within 6 years of the manufacture date can be sold as "NEW". I say "belief" because I know of no data that supports (or denies) this.
However, the tire manufacturer I worked for did test 3 year old tires and could find no performance difference to freshly made tires.
So not only is a month a deal breaker from the tire dealer's perspective, I doubt that the tire dealer could actually get a tire that fast through normal channels.

6 yrs or 6 months.
I seriously doubt you could get a manufacture to go on record saying a 6yr old tire is like new.
Also, are you talking about legally or realistically? Legally, new products that have not been sold before are considered "new". Find a dealer with a 1985 Ford Ranger that's been sitting at the back of the lot never sold, the dealer can legitimately sell it as new but realistically, they aren't going to lie and say it's a 2021 model.

I recently had to buy replacement tires ahead of schedule because of damage. I ordered them on line my long time supplier has changed hands and is now "Trucks Only". Of the two tires shipped, one was 8 months old and the other 13 months old. They were much less expensive than I last paid, but I am going to be looking for a new supplier when the oldest pair comes up for replacement.

When I purchased my Toyo's I told the dealer that they should not be older than 3 months. Dealer told me I would have to wait a week or so - NBD.

Thanks Ivylog. This is the first time I'll be replacing tires on a MH, so appreciate the well-reasoned response.

13 months is getting a little old but with a sufficient discount, I would probably take them and just plan to replace them a year sooner.
