Default New tires aren't really new

I have heard it mentioned here several times about the dangers of using NOS vintage tires on our cars and then watched this video about new tire sales. Tire stores are selling new tires that are already several years old so by the time you run them for a year or so you may have a 10 year old tire that you thought was new. That could easily contribute to some of the blown tires in burnout contests that literally total cars or rip quarters off of them. Is there a way to make sure your tire shop gets only fresh off the line tires? I wonder how many of our hot rods and restorations have 10 or 15 yr old tires on them ?
