It also has to do wirh humidity. In VA tires dry rotting was a thing. In FL with 98 % humidty is does not happen.

Purchased new winter tires from dealership and now find that one rear is 3 years old, another 5 years old.
I realize they have not been used. But I have also read how tires can degrade over time without using them. Also, no matter we you should be replacing them after a period of time. Starting out with tires that are 5 years old from the beginning seems problematic.
So if this was you, simply accept them? Or ask for replacements?
