Anyone have an (educated) opinion on the following...?
Would you use a set of Continental tyres that had never been used, but had been fitted to rims and stored in a dark garage for 8 years?
No visible signs of cracking / deterioration anywhere on the tyres.
Can't help thinking it is a bad idea, but not sure why I think that. Usual stuff about degradation of materials etc etc - I'm not sure I buy into that.
This is general motoring related. Not a performance / track / day / sorts car question.......
