I am pretty sure I know the answer, but money is tight right now. I think the oldest tire I ever used was maybe 2 years old, so no experience beyond that.
I have a bunch of 5 year old (new) Hoosier radials for a GT car. They were stored indoor in a climate controlled room, but not bagged. No visible cracking, but they do feel pretty stiff (although that maybe just compared to formula car tires)
What would be the odds they are still usable?
I hate to make wall art out of $4k worth of tires, but that maybe what will happen.
I did contact Hoosier, they gave me the build dates but no other advice.
Thanks
