    Came a cross some old Pirelli slicks, 35/12 never used.
    Are these still ok to ride on?
    Is there a hard deadline you want to avoid?
    It's a good deal, but not a good one if they are not rideable.

    Tnx

    Not necessarily. Just be aware it's not the latest and great technology, compared to the tires of today.

    Tnx, went trough too many sets this year. So I defined a little break for a couple of track days would be great if they would work.

    FWIW, I still set some of my best personal laps on tires from 2010.

    with the modern technology, age of the tire is not affecting the performance of the tire itself. The question is where and how were the tires stored in the last 2 years?
    controlled temperature, weather exposition,...

    Controlled house garage.
    I actually know the guy and he takes good care of his stuff.

    Do not ride them! Have him PM me instead :) Just kidding.

    Unless they were stored in a trailer all winter and all summer, you should be just fine. If you're concerned, I'll take them with no concerns :)
