to be fair, regardless of mileage, I would have thought that the original 26 year old tyres would have long since perished.

likewise and i would be replacing them as a matter of urgency but i think the seller is using the fact they are still there as a proof of mileage covered as he has no other proof just now i.e the lost history |

The Uniroyals on my GTE were perished so badly i'd of been nuts to use them again. They were 15 years old
