Tyres Ageing - When are they too old

[hkp57]

I saw some new never fitted racing wet tyres Yokohama A006 that are fairly cheap, trouble is they were made in year 2008 in a medium compound

Will these be age hardened beyond reasonable use?

Thanks for the reply's, yes they are brand new still in the wrapper and never fitted.

and no budding F1 team here, just looking for a capable wet weather tyre for a 7 type hayabusa powered kitcar for our glorious Scottish summers.


Polley Motorsport and the likes of Demon Tweeks want £180 each

This guy on eBay wants £200 for set of 4

Thanks for all the reply's and as I though not such a good idea.

At the end of the day if its so wet I need full race wets the car will be on the trailer and I will be drinking tea :-)

So I think I will go down the route of Rainsport 3, at £41 each you cant complain
