My guideline is also 12 months max. But in the last year, I bought two sets of tires, one for the Boxster, one for my DD. The ones for the Boxster arrived and had a 3 years old DOT. Naturally, I refused them. They ordered a new set which were 8 months old. The tires for the DD were 4 months old. I only drive each car about 5k miles a year so I need a very fresh tire.
A big factor also is how much you drive. If you drive 20k miles a year and could get a good discount on a 2 yr old tire, I might do it. The tires will wear out long before they age out.
