brand new stored run or not

Depends on how they were stored.

not climate controlled but inside in texas

I would run them, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't perform very well. Take care. Tom Worthington

I would run them depending on how fast the vehicle is? Provide more info.

I would run them just do a big burnout.

From my experience, I'd run them and see what happens. The slicks on my stick shift superstocker were new in 2018, when I had plans to get going again. Plans fell through and they sat, mounted on wheels and on the car until making 1st pass January this year. Over the 8 years inside the trailer, they lost air but stayed up, (stiff sidewalls). I thought they may be flat-spotted due to that, and swear I could see a little bit, but they've never given me any problems. From my 1st pass until poking a hole in one a couple months ago after run #24, they were great. I did swap to my spare (new) tires when I had the flat, so these are my backup spares now. Wouldn't hesitate to put them back on. Car runs low 6 sec 1/8 mile at 117mph, 1.31-1.33 60' times with roughly 2' wheels up launches. Never felt anything that would make me feel like flat-spotted or out of balance. Having spoke with a few folks since running them, they say bias slicks will usually shape back up from that once heated up real good. Hope this helps. Good luck....

thanks guys

They're fine.
My 2005 Goodyear radials sat in the trailer until 2014, and performed flawlessly when I got the car back out. New converter and rear gear resulted in quickest 60' times ever.

My car runs 140, yours runs 230. I have zero opinion on them. LOL

lol i think i will try them, i have a new set but as always want to be thrifty

Makes you wonder how long the tire manufacturers store them. Rubber needs to cure.

Curtis I do respect your opinion

I’d like to see a follow up to this post after you have a solid opinion. Reason being is I might be sitting on a 1 year old new set of bias rears and possibly storing them for the next 2 -3 years. I’m considering selling them now instead.

If they are actual Mickeys, not the cross overs, there is a DAMN GOOD chance they are 03-05 faster.

Bring your new set with you just in case there is a problem with the old set

they have a test day prior to the race

you may have seen on here where I switched to MT years back. Guy gave me a set. Car never worked so good. I ran them for about 3/4 of a year with LOTS of runs probably close to 150. Big money race was coming up and thought they do not owe me anything and figured I would buy another set. I could not find the part number of the ones he gave me. I called him because he was affiliated with MT. He asked for the other info and proceeded to tell me they were from 2006! This was like 2021 when he gave them to me! They were stored in an non-climate controlled shed - he said yeah everyone makes a big deal about it. As long as they are not in the sunlight nothing happens. I was still shocked. Got the new set - new PN, and they worked exactly the same - zero difference.
