Hi all,
I am considering buying a 93 Mustang GT that has 12,000 original miles. The car is wearing it's original Goodyear Eagle ZR55, P225/55ZR16 tires (These were an "all season" factory option for these cars).
The Car has been stored in a garage for all it's life and kept out of the sun and elements. My 2 questions are:
1 - Are these tires still safe to drive on after 18 years assuming they are in good shape? (I only have pictures and have not visually inspected them for any cracking or dry rot). There appears to be plenty of tread left on the tires. I will need to drive on them between 600 and 1000 miles in the next 6 months to get the car home.
2 - If I were to replace them with a similar "all season" tires, what do you recommend?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Doug
