I have always considered tires that are 5 to 6 years old to be "Stale". That said, the set of Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my 7 passenger are 6 years old and the ones on my '85 Westy are 5 years old. The tread on both (I use them year 'round) is still really good. I'm having a hard time wearing those suckers out. I'm afraid, at some point, I may have to replace them due to age rather than wear. :( Mike Houlton, Maine |
