Yeah I'm fully expecting they'll be way down on grip being that old, but I feel like less grip is more fun on public roads. They've been sitting in a garage for the past 7 years, so at least they haven't been baking in the sun. Visually and to the touch, they seem to be in good condition too. Worst case scenario is I'll be out $100 to mount them and I can burn them up doing some drifts!
