tomdotc Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm no tyre expert and just wanted to see what other people have to say about this. I am potentially looking at getting MPSS all round on my 350z and have come across ones for the rear at a cheaper price. About £105 for 1x 245/45/18 although the seller has said its been in stock for a while, never used and been kept in dry storage. If it's been kept in storage and never used, would the tyre deteriorate or deteriorate at a quicker rate when they are eventually on the car?

Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Check the date of manufacture, that'll give you a good guide. I'd be binning tyres at around the 5 year mark, but some can go for up to 7 years. Cracking is the biggest issue. That said, on a new tyre like the MPSS you should be fine. It won't deteriorate any quicker, but it will be that much older than a brand new one (obviously!) so you'd need to consider that as you should replace worn tyres as a pair.
