Default Importance of Tire Manufacture Date

I just ordered and received a set of SO2A's from Tire Rack and in inspecting the tires the rears have the exact same manufacture date code while the fronts have 2 completely different dates. Should I be concerned or is it OK?

TIA

John...the manufacture date will tell whether or not your tires are old and probably dry...I'd not trust tires over 7 or 8 years old... different manufacture dates would not make any difference, considering they are in the same year or only one year apart...just my opinion...

In regard to the fronts with the two different dates they are about 9 months apart over 2 different years. Neither are more than 2 years old from today though.
