Re: Whats the shelf life on tires???

If I remeber correctly 5 years is the recommendation, but I run tires from much older than that. If they were stored inside from the elements I would say that they are probably still good just a little stiff. On trick to help soften them is soak them down with ATF for a couple days.

I would run them. If they are not cracked, or flat spotted to bad.
