Old Tires, Can I Still Use Them?

[clip14]

old tires and rims

Cheers

that depends on the event

is it a burnout comp or a track day?

tyres when they sit there get stiff and hard

tyres provide traction by flexing and expanding with heat

if they have sat there for ages they become stiff and hard

ie they wont flex very well and will be ordinary as

so if its a high speed / track event - forget it

if its a burnout comp, go nuts

if they've been flat or sitting with low pressure in the same spot you'll probably feel the flatspots when you start to drive it. they usually come good after a while though
