Not so new tyres

[Colin Bromley]

A lot depends on how tyres have been stored, I have fitted 8 year old radials to my 2CV before, knowing that they have been kept in a dry dark environment. The kind of mileage most of us do in Sevens it is unlikely we will wear a set of tyres out in ten years. I keep an eye on the tyres on the Chummy for cracking etc, they have been on a few years now and still look new, despite 15k miles.
