You mean those rubbers that are virgins that have not touched the tarmac yet or those that have already been on the road.For those on the road, I think 2 years and the rubber compound would have harden in our climate. The ozone with the heat will make the rubber harden...making them useless...even if they are plenty of threads left in the tyres.For those virgins that have yet to be used, storage is also important. It must be outta the sun and preferable the tyres are not stacked on top of each other....for a short while like a couple of months is ok, but if its for long, the steel belts in the tyre will be outta shape.I only buy rubbers that are made in the current year....for those made last year, it must not exceed more than 12 months. Since you gonna pay for it, might as well get the fresh stocks as opposed to old stocks (cos likely the seller gonna charge you for same price.)</blockquote>
