Sorry for those who buy tires that have sat on shelf for a few years and didn't check born on date.
Yes, of course. But you don't know when it will come apart. Don't get me wrong, I have a garaged car with this very issue. I hate to spend that kind of money when the tread is deep, but I also don't want to spend a bunch of money to fix the fenders or quarters if the tread separated. I hope to change them this year. Until then, not going fast or far.
