I have called all over, and cannot find any tire that is a ST235/80R16 made in the USA.

I'm going to put Bridgestone Duravis 500s (253/85R16) on the Montana...I figure if Lonnie, a tire shop owner, puts them on his rig, they must be a good tire.

My question is what is the consensus of an acceptable age for a "new" tire? I ordered the tires today, the dealer did not have them in stock, but I don't want a tire that's years old.
