So I have a set of Bridgestone Duellers H/T on my stock rims. They are 245/60/18 which is the stock size I believe.

They have been stored in my basement since I bought the VX. They have 80% tread remaining.

Before storage I cleaned them and oiled them down good to prevent any cracking. The basement is cool and dry all the time and they have been mounted and still have good air pressure.

The production date code is the 19th week of 2005.

What is the downside to using these for a time? Most of my driving is highway speed about 45 miles to the airport and back. Other than that is just in town.

Thanks for the help. I've heard stories about using older tires, even when new, and just need some feedback.

You guys and gals are the best...
