Its obvious that new rubber needs to warm up,but old rubber is waay worse when the time comes.
Can you compare old tire with the good thread and new tire. People often drive with old rubber because it have good and deep marks or what ever you call them
Some dealers even sell old but unused tires as new
So long as the tire was kept out of the elements, and wasn’t sitting on a car. An old tire should still perform as well as a new tire of comparable quality. Tires take about 50-80 years to decompose outside in the elements, so a tire that isn’t being used probably has 5 (maybe up to 10?) years before the age of it really starts to effect its performance. That is of course if it’s kept out of the elements. A tire sitting outside is going to degrade faster than one that’s being kept in storage.
Shouldn’t a worn out fire have more contact area so more grip? Does the old tyre performs inferiorly becaude of plder rubber?
Worn tires are good for two things: Burnouts and crash barriers.
