While the tires are 4 years old, Tire Rack does properly store their tires so you don't get the aging effect from the elements and UV. Storing an unmounted tire does not age like a mounted tire. But the down side is that the tires are not wrapped so there is off-gassing that degrades the tire performance. The other downside is that if you do try to take these to an event where they check tire dates, you will likely fail tech inspection. But to drive on the roadin a somewhat normal manner you'll be fine with these tires.
