Old tires

nothingbutdarts said

With the thread going about Discount tires I decided to ask this question:

I have a brand new set (4) of GoodYear Eagle ST's that I bought for my Dart way back in like 1998. They have never been mounted or had air in them.

Would you run them on your car??

Were they...
...exposed to UV light? (In the sun or in a room with florescent lights.)
...near electric motors? (Ozone can damage rubber.)
...slathered with Armor-All?

If not...I would check them carefully for damage. (And the obvious: make sure they have not hardened!) If they check out--yes, I would run them!
