Default New set of tyres age when buying?

when your buying a new set of tyres, how old would you expect them to be, what would be acceptable?
fair enough for the mich road pilot 3's as they're more or less just on the market, but any other tyre?

cheers

AFAIK shelf life is 6 years.
I'd be looking for a lot less than that though
