"Like New" tires

They even still have the mold flashing on the edges.

On the bright side the fronts are date code 1608, so they're only 8 years old

I wouldnt run them very long. maybe for a rebuild shake down ride but not as dailys.

I don't plan to.

Gotta love those ads. "Like new tread" from 1992. I even saw a shop put new old stock tires on a guys bike once. Knowing how to read the date mark was a very good thing to learn.

Reminds me of the idiots on Ebay selling used brake lines that are like 25 years old.

I wouldn't buy those tires....after 6 years is too old from what Ive read.....especially when a brand new set of shinko 712's are only 45-50 each.

They came with the bike. I have no plan of keeping them on.

How about inner tubes? I assume those also need to be replaced, or do they go on as long as they hold air because of being protected inside the tire?

New tubes, and new rim protectors, are needed
