I guess that there is some restoration market out there where some one would pay for a "New Old Stock" set of of the tires from a 90 Z....mine are 20 yrs old and not a safe tire to use ( IMHO ). I could not sell these to any one to actually drive on. I would not be able to sleep at night if something bad happened. I took Brett to mean he needs something date coded for display reasons, not to actually drive on my old tires, or at least I hope not to drive on these tires.


Hey Brett? You know that these tires are 20 yrs old? I do not advise driving on these tires at all. Okay? Just so I'm clear, okay? I just want to be clear that these are 20 yrs old. I don't want to hear that something bad happened because one of my old tires blew up. Oh and just so every one knows, the tires are yours Brett and I'm not pulling any funny stuff here....it's just that these things are not safe to drive with, okay? I'm no tire expert, but they can't be any good for anything except sitting still...okay?

I understand and sincerely apprerciate your concerns, Tom. These tires will be used for the 88, which will probably never be titled anyway. The longest trip they will make will be iinside an enclosed trailer.

I'll probably drive it a few laps around my sub-division once or twice a month, just like I do the 53. Just enough to keep things lubed and functional.
