T shirts I had made. I had a favorite one from the 1972 movie by the same name. The first and only(?) X-rated cartoon. Robert Crumb did the artwork. My original t shirt disintegrated after 50 years (why? ) so I was able to sent stickermule via photographs having it printed on black shirts.

Sumitomo of (just an example, although specific) warrants the tires in question for 45K miles or 60 months (from DOM), whichever comes first.

Separately, there are varying opinions on the WWW about such issues including sensationalized (to a bit) recommendations and responses. Of course, folks are free to make their own decisions :).
Update: The 3X replacements from AMZN were also manufactured in 2023 (e.g. weeks 19 and 23 of 2023). I do not remember the DOM for the third. However, while the UPS driver was attempting delivery, he let me check the codes and refuse delivery. So everything returned to Amazon.

Just ordered a staggered set 225/45R17 and 245/40R17 from Sams. Same tires that are on the car presently.
