I would hope nowhere... Good way to end up dead.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Good new tires are not that expensive anymore anyway.

Costco should be a good choice.
Even brand-new tires that have been in storage for over six years can be dangerous. There have been lawsuits in the US against retailers like Sears for selling new tires that had been in the warehouse from anywhere from six to nine years. The customers had no idea and thought they were driving on safe new tires until they blew apart and resulted in fatal accidents.

There is a Dept of Transportation (DOT) code that you can decipher on the rim of your tires to figure out the actual manufacture date. After reading the article, I checked out my own tires and confirmed they were manufactured about three months before I bought them.
