Not sure how "new" most new tyres really are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal to have tyres sitting around for 10 months before going on a car. In saying that not sure what most places consider as 'new' tyres. Pretty sure my tyres were all put on within about 3 months of manufacture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 20d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 02/05/15 03:56 AM Share Posted 02/05/15 03:56 AM I am not sure why you'd be worried about 10 months? Especially if stored decently.If they were stored in a barn and exposed to bulk water, dust and sunlight maybe they'd be in bad nick. But I'd say 10 months old for a tyre would almost qualify as a perfectly reasonable turn around time.Nah f*ck it. Next time I get tyres I want them to be as fresh as the bread I get from the bakery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps in a warranty sense? Edited 02/05/15 04:04 AM by stubbietubbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or harden if it's not getting any heat in it.But to me that would take years not months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
