Newer is always better. Tyres like to be kept out of the sun if you want them to be 'fresh'

I've got 2006 Tyres on one car, they work well enough. You'll be fine.

They're fine man, I've seen far worse without problems!

Practically brand new The last car I bought from Auckland had 10 year old tires on it.

How much?

Bear in mind that good new tyres may not be all that much more.

[dkonsta1 109]

depends on the usage. maybe ok for cruising around the city but would not trust them in fast routes on state highway. but they are not ancient anyway.

most would get to that age easily before they are worn on average car.

just be aware of it, unless you doing big milage you will probaly want to replace again before fully worn

You'll be fine - that's actually pretty new and nothing out of the ordinary for used tyres.

I decided to give them a pass and save up for some new tyres

do not worry 3pedals
