Having gone through this I'd check the date codes on each tire you buy.

A while back I put 4 new tires on our Rodeo. At 70 mph one of them threw 3/4 of the tread. Fortunately the casing did not come apart and it held pressure.

Found out it was an old new tire. Response of the tire place was "yeah so - prove that was the tire we sold you"

By noting the batch numbers and date codes of the tires on your receipt and having them sign it at purchase is a good way to ensure you have new new tires and can prove, should you ever have to, that 'yes' that is indeed the tire you were sold.
