No miles and stored indoors. I'm gonna remove & inspect each one very closely.
As SSJ71 said, it doesn't matter how close you inspect them. I was actually telling the truth about my shoes, but I've also had a set of 10+ year old tires that looked almost perfect and they developed a bubble in them while driving. No dry rot, no cracking, nothing. It sucks because they "MIGHT" be ok this trip. Or the next one. Kind of a Russian roulette. So unless you are just cruising around town at low speeds, I don't think you should risk it, no matter how tempting it is.
