1985 300D: Keep or replace 5.5 yr. old tires with low mileage?
My 1985 300D has a set of 4 Yokohama P195/70R-14 Avid Touring-S SL tires.
They were installed 5.5 years ago and have only 3,300 miles on them - I only drive the car about once a month and rarely on the freeway. The car is garaged. The tires lose about 2-3 psi every 6 months or so. I plan to replace the rims this year (returning to originals) and am wondering whether it would be best for me to: A. Simply dismount and remount the tires onto the new rims. or B. Replace the tires given their 5.5 year age. Stated another way: Despite the quite low mileage on the tires, is 5.5 years such that they are physically degraded enough (even though tire pressures remain good) to call for replacement? I would appreciate any advice on this (wasn't successful in finding much specifically in the archives on this subject). Thank you. Last edited by dogguy; 02-06-2025 at 05:46 PM. |
