I would be hesitant to depend on old tires very far from home. I
recently got a car out of storage, it had about 10-12 year old
Michelins on it with *very* few miles on them. These tires had not
seen the light of day during this time, and even when they were new
the car was stored inside (it has currently spent a total of 6 nights
outside). One was flat, which is bad of course.
Within 2,000 miles, two of them came apart at highway speeds with
craptacular results. This happened a week apart, as well. After it
beat up 31 year old perfect factory paint, I replaced all four as
quickly as I could afford to.
