How old is too old for motorcycle tires, and do they really expire after five years? We discuss tire aging and even test some old tires to see what really happens as tires age.
I did see one of their recent Youtube videos on the same topic.
I enjoyed it as I just bought a rare 23in tire for my Honda dirt bike. It came from a dealership that closed up over 10yrs ago and the tire is dated four years prior to that. Whew....
Not that I recommend it, but I'm still running an 11-year old front Pilot Power on my SXV that's still got decent tread. I told myself I'd just take it easy, but then forgot. It still handles surprisingly well with amazing feedback the few times I pushed it beyond the limit and lost traction.

Don't really know but I think there's a difference between having a set of tires on your bike for 10 years vs. using a set of tires that have been unmounted and in storage for 10 years.

I wear the tires out on my bikes too fast for them to age. The tires on my cars are another story. Some people just change their tires for appearances and a bit of snob value, according to people I have talked to at tire shops.
