Ok, I had to pull out my receipt - they were bought in 1997 so only 12 yrs old, lol . Yokohama Guardex, $ 92 each .
They were stored properly - bags, cool basement. like people some tires age more gracefully than others and I just can't bring myself to discard them with maybe 50% tread left.
I had meant to run them 5 yrs ago, but the last 7 or 8 years the winters in denver have been very mild - but this year El Nimo is planning on changing that.
So I still need to find a way to get these tires mounted - maybe I can find a way to alter the date code and make the seven a nine ?
Not getting much help from the board on this one !
