2006 is too old right? the tires will be dry and become hard?

His going to switch them for me on Monday after his spoken to hancook apparently.
Yeah 4 years old is a bit much for a "new" tire. Yes they are still serviceable but you are supposed to replace tires after they are 7 years old, so they certainly aren't at their prime. Believe me this kind of crap happens all the time and most people never bother to check.

Only time I buy older tires is if they are race tires because I burn them up so quickly. But I can tell the difference to the fresh ones.
