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? |

my teener has tires on it from 1998. I havn't driven it though. Goodyear Hoosiers 225-60-15s. 3 are fine the 4th has a slow leak. Car has been garage kept for a decade so no uv. They seem ok with no cracking but they are 10 years old. These tires still look new with probably less than 100 miles on them. Should I buy new ones or can I get by with these for a while (not driving it yet. Still have to replace brakes and switch back to stock FI)

Anything will be fine as long as you're not driving it, although I wouldn't get under the car. (Failures have been reported for cars just sitting in the garage...) And I certainly wouldn't drive it across the street. I don't think you'll find anyone that will recommend driving them in normal highway service but you're gonna do what you're gonna do. (However, I think they might be Goodyears, or Hoosiers, but I don't think they can be both at the same time...) |
