My front PR4GT is worn down to the wear marks. I have a new 5 year old Avon Storm II that I received on a warranty claim that I almost forgot about. It's been stored in an attached garage,rarely below freezing still strapped in between the 2 cardboard plates, stored flat on a shelf, above a dorm style fridge that I was unaware of the effect of the fridge on ozone and tires. When removing strapping and handling looking for date code feels like it still has mold release on it.
I've read some using tires 10 years old but 5 seems to be the consensus on life span.
Anyone have experience using near end of life tires, especially Avon tyres, made in England.
I'm a typical frugal owner but have the means to get new but don't want to throw away a useable tire.
