I think the only way to know for sure is to inspect them and drive on them. I tried the stock tires on my FRS (Bridgestone Turanza EL-400-02) after 10 years in storage (kept in a dark but unheated garage) and they were ok. No visible cracks and the rubber still felt relatively soft. Grip levels were a bit worse than stock but nothing alarming. I would have daily driven them without a second thought.

That said, their value on the open market is probably minimal. I don’t think many buyers would be willing to take on that kind of risk on an unknown set of tires.
