Hi,

I have been watching that tyre too, definitely out of date DO NOT BID......lol

My info. is its all to do with storage and temperatures, my 'source' advices as long as it is stored indoors and is not subjected to frost it should last 5 - 7 years but if subjected to frost 2-3 years. Not sure a how much truth/guesstimate in that but it sounds reasonable.

He always stores his motorcycle tyres high in the garage to keep them warm so he at least believes it.

Tyres can be easily dated there is a code on the side giving month/year of manufacture.

I was interested in that tyre as I have a new front to match, so if you win and need a matching drop me a line.

Cheers.
