Saw this on another forum I go to and thought it would be a good idea to post it here.
Tires that are sold as new. Opinions about this? |

This is a very significant issue for collector cars.
We buy nice new tires and we dont drive enough to wear the tread out. Then, as you cruise down the road in your pride and joy with 6-10 year old tires on it...beware. I have noticed also that due to the odd sizes we require for these cars that the stock tires we can get are 5-8 years old when you buy them...its not safe and I send them back and search for other ones.
