Shelf Life of E.T. Streets?

Hey guys. I have a set of et streets (front and back) that were purchased in Sept. '05
They have a total of 3 passes on them. Should I replace them or run em?
Thanks,
Ernie

ernie t I just read this in one of the mags. in a tire article a few months back but average shelf life on a tire is 6 years then the rubber starts to loose some of its properties belive they said harden now that i think of it think it was a article in sport compact by dave coleman they should be alright as long as they stayed dry

They should be fine. Dan actually borrowed a set that has been in a shed for like 3 years and ran 9.7s with them!

LOL. They'll be fine, just make sure they weren't stored sitting on the tread, or it will take a few runs to "round" them out a again.
