Switzerland 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I bought some wheels with winter tyres for my VX and scrapped the tyres after one season even though they had plenty of tread left because they were 8 years old.

But if you can get a good deal on tyres that are a few years old, and you will wear them out before they 'expire' then why not?

This is from the Michelin site.

How old is too old? The five year test

After five years or more in service, your tyres should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year. If the need arises, follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the original equipment tyres. As a precaution, if the tyres have not been replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a tyre sidewall), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.
