[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16294909, member: 188865"] As long as they’re stored out of direct sunlight, tires will last a VERY long time. Once mounted and subject to load and heat cycle and sunlight and 2 atmospheres of pressure, that’s when they begin to degrade. Manufacturers over the years placed life cycles to avoid law suits (and increase sales) but the reality is as Kong as the tire isn’t exposed to ozone or UV and never mounted and used, it’ll perform near the day it was manufactured for a VERY long time.
