If you refused to accept the vehicle with two year old tires, would the dealer be able to find more recent tires, or would they say, "take it or leave it." We have no immediate plans to buy another car but I'd be willing to take a hard line on this. We'd never have accepted a new car with three year old tires.

If you could find a dealer willing to bend over backwards to make you happy by swapping out the tires, then you'd be lucky. More than likely, they'll just try to get you to take it as-is, I reckon.
