I found this really tempting at 1/2 the normal price. It's been a decade since I had R tires.

Then I noticed it looks like they were made in 2009? Well TireRack kept them indoors so they are probably fine or they wouldn't sell them.

Still be great for a track day or two?

I wouldn't risk it. I tried a set of similarly old "new old stock" tires on the Z4. They were street tires, and not "the best" street tires, but I firmly believe that they should have been a LOT grippier than they were. Being 3-4 years on the shelf really hurts a performance tire.

If TR expected them to be 100% okay, they wouldn't bother discounting them to 50%.

This might be a problem for people not familiar with prophilactics?

You have to roll it out the "whole" way to see the "warning".

You're welcome.
