this is a very short sighted statement. there is very little demand for specialty tires, there isn't a single company that would not prioritize making a product for a wider range of users than a specialized user. I know from a business perspective if I had to chose between manufacturing tires for the millions of Toyota Camry's on the road vs the few hundred s2000 owners who actually race their cars, it would be a no brainer

bridgestone has continued to be the most sold tire in the world. a company that was bad at keeping up with demand would be incapable of doing that

and just to add something constructive to this conversation. your 2 year old tires will be fine. I work for a tire company and I am extremely familiar with the tire manufacturing process. The average lifespan of a tire is 5 years of use, the rubber doesn't start breaking down til 10 years after production. Companies like Bridgestone & Continental among others do not allow tires that are more than 5 years old to be sold from 1st party distributors (like tire rack) because they realize that if they are sold they have a higher chance of being on the vehicle beyond the 10 year lifespan of the rubber. The likelihood of your tires breaking down while you have them on your vehicle due to age isn't likely to occur, especially if your seeing any track time, even if its sparingly.
