I have two sets of OLD tires - one circa Jan 19 and the other Jan 20. Both have approximately the same number of cycles and show about ~70 on the durometer (which I'm convinced is a worthless measure anyway).
I need to mount a new set and so one of these has to go, question is which one? One is AVON 222 compound, the other 007. I really couldn't tell much of a difference.
Here's a couple of pics. I believe the ones on the left are newer, but they show a lot of "blue" which I've always associated with "real done". The ones on the right have kind of a grainy surface texture. Thoughts?
