Jumping back in here for a clarification: the warning above is part of the email you get from Hoosier tire every time you buy a set. The quotes didn’t stick. That’s from the manufacturer that knows their tires better than anyone else. And before you go down the rabbit hole about just wanting to sell tires, if Hoosier had a tire that didn’t degrade on a shelf they would sell a crapload more tires, the shelf life is always a consideration. All manufactures have similar warnings. As mentioned above all it takes is doing your own homework…

the op asked a very reasonable question many people have and looking for advice from the forum on something that could represent a real risk to him and other people on the track. If it seems like I’m hitting this with a hammer I am, I’ve seen the consequences…

later…
