Tyres left outside.

[M@lew]

I have some tyres that have been sitting outside for around 3/4 of a year and was wondering if they're dangerous to use? They're not always in the sun (stored away in a corner behind my house) so would they still be usable with just less grip? Or best to just throw them out?

if it was me id use them...its semis u hav to be careful about

i mean going by that logic the tyres on my car have been sitting outside for 2 years! all while bearing 1200kg load aswell!

aslong as theres tread and no visible damage of course use them, if the weather can compromise their integrity...well mate we're all in strife!

(having said that im going to be politically correct and say NO! dont use them! as i dont want to be held responsible if anything goes wrong...

They're street tyres so they're all nice and hard but I think it was something more along the lines of I've heard they can dry out if not used / covered up?
