Not to be alarmist, but I would not be driving aggressive on old tires on public roads. If that tire goes there is not a lot of room for error. On track or autox you have more room, but why lose the grip. Maybe drifting to save money.

I know, I have had plenty of 7 year old tires with tons of tread left, but why accept the risk when you can afford not to. I mean it’s the only thing keeping you on the road. I have given away two sets of summers with 8 years or so on them. I often wonder how long these people drive on them.

It’s so funny that people will spend thousands modding there car, to get a second faster, but than are cheap on tires, which provide so much of your cars performance feel and safety.
