Tyres in storage since 2006

Ive been offered a deal on some 19" wheels with Pirelli Scorpions that have been stored since taken off a new RRS in 2006. I'm assuming I'd be advised to look elsewhere? FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Forget them - 5 years max recommended Shocked

My 07 freelander tyres were crazing this year and would have needed replaced Sad

Recommendation is store max 6 months at a time for winter wheels then swap and so on Thumbs Up

Tyres remain pliable with use but if not used they sort of dry out and crack Sad Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
