    Tyre question - will they still be OK?

    I'm going to switch my alloys over from my old Mk2. The tyres are Goodyear F1's and have hardly any wear, however they have been standing for 2 years. The car has been moved a quite a bit but there have been periods of a month or two when its been stationary.

    Would these be OK for road use or will the stationary periods cause problems?

    Cheers,
    OP

    I think it can cause the tyre wall to crack, plus they'll have flat spots if the weight of a car has been on the same spot on the tyre for very long periods
    If I like it, I lick it. If I dont, I kick it

    CAN NO LONGER GET TYRES, SORRY
