I think 4 years old will be ok. Any older I wouldnt think about it, if you want the grip out of them then dont purchase as these will be hard. In saying that i think 4 year old Avons will still be much better than a lot of new cheaper tyres.

I bought a set of tyres recently and when i got them I realised they were very old ,close to tens years i think. Now they sit in the rafters to remind me not to waste money.....
