I have recently purchased almost new tires with very low mileage on ebay and found they were over 5 years old when they arrived, which is pushing the edge of safety according to some sources. People take off tires from new vehicles, put them in the garage for a few years and then sell them when they clean up. So if buying used, ask for the date code off each tire to make sure you are OK. As for new, I think prices from Tire Rack are competitive with anything I have found on ebay.
