RWH if I could kindly ask you to share any and all safety information related to MT/Rs. I was under the impression that this sidewall issue was only for a certain year(s) of mfg, not every single one of them.

HMMWV Goodyear Tire Blow-Outs:
HMMWV and Trailer Caution - Inspection Required
Goodyear Wrangler MT-R tires have a serious problem with premature wear causing multiple blow-outs, including two accidents with injuries.
Inspect these tires: 37x12 50R16 5LT load range D tire, NSN 2610-01-541-4090 (used on tire/wheel assembly, NSN 2530-01-558-213, and load range E tires, NSN 2610-01-563-8328 (used on tire/wheel assembly, NSN 2530-01-563-8620).
The Goodyear Wrangler MT and Michelin BF Goodrich Baja T/A tires are not affected.
For the affected tires look for the DOT code on the tire sidewall. The last four digits following "DOT" indicate the week and year of manufacture. For example, 2515 means the tire was produced the twenty-fifth week of 2015.
Any of the affected tires that are older than five years, or that will exceed five years before the next scheduled maintenance, must be reported as NMC. They must be replaced even if they appear to be serviceable.
Affected tires that are less than five years old must be inspected for cracks. Pay special attention to the decorative U-channel ribs in the upper sidwalls on both sides of the tire.
Any cracks longer than 3/32nds of an inch make the tire NMC, they must be replaced.
