Those look great. I assume you are aware of the G-G Territory MTs reputation for rock throwing. Had these from the factory on my Bronco sasquatch and switched over to KO2s. Just get some good flaps.

i know ive definitely seen couple year old michelins that looked 20 years old. long story short anything after 5 years could be problematic...dry rot, hard rubber etc. depends on environmental conditions and tire composition

Just checked, 1 x 4622, 2 x 5022 and 1 x 0123.

Performance tires we always coached 2 to 3 years shelf life if properly stored.

Truck and passenger tires are 6 to 10 years. People sometimes remember the 1990’s when tire technology and chemistry didn’t allow for longer shelf life’s. No such worries with tires made over the last 10 years.

I roll with 7 years as rule of thumb on a daily.

Since one of the tires is over one year old, I’m asking for an exchange. The Discount Tire eBay store exchanged the tire that was over 1 year old as it was my preference. Great customer service.

Note to self…….don‘t buy Coopers. Shame, because they’re American made.

This from Goodyear:

What causes tires to dry rot prematurely?

1. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight
2. Low inflation pressure in the tires
3. Storing tires at extremely high temperatures
4. Not using the tires due to lengthy storage of a vehicle or the tires themselves
5. Storing tires near electric motors, battery chargers, generators, welding equipment, or other ozone-generating sources

i wouldnt be opposed to coppers or any brand in general. there are so many factors. bad batch, bad owner, bad weather conditions etc

i just had to replace i think a 10 year old tire bc it cracked in the sidewall. overall the tire looked good and only found the leak when i put it underwater

Delivered within 50hrs, to my driveway out here in the sticks. They definitely are lighter and easier to squish than the MT tires I'm used to on all my other trucks.
