Tire question. Sorry

Found a good deal on a new set of P Zeros. But the Dot stamp is 2018. They are brand new. Would this be OK for my daily driver

If stored correctly, then yes, you can safely run these for at least 3-4 years.

I'd say indoors, out of the sun (UV) and not in an attached garage or some other storage location that sees 32- degrees in the winter or 120+ in the summer. Now these may not be dealbreakers, but they can all reduce the future lifespan of the already 4-year-old tire.

I would not spend the money to mount and balance such old tires. You're not saving anything unless you're about to sell the car.

Are you paying full price for 4 year old tires? For me, that would be a NO.
