Hi All
I think I know the answer to this question but hear goes 15 years ago I refurbished an MGB and fitted new tyres I then sold it. I have just bought it back it’s sat in a garage for most of the time it’s been away (did 1500 miles). The tyres are like new no cracking or anything, I know tyres aren’t expensive but just seems a waste. Would there me visible signs of the rubber deteriorating?

Well I had a good look at each tyre the rear were Toyo and looked brand new. The front were a no make and had cracking, I’ve replaced the front and I’m going to leave the backs on see how it goes. It’s a V8 MGB so does get some enthusiastic driving but does not go out in the rain.
Thanks for the advice
Mick
