Are these from week 32 of 2009? Tires came on some wheels I purchased,, I knew they would be temporary , but as I am installing them today the cracks and weatherchecking makes me think VERY temporary.....

14 year old tires. I wouldn't drive on those at all.

I have a set of wheels with 22 year old tires on them. Pretty much garage rollers at this point.

I purchased these wheels, (with caps) and tires for $50 off of CL to hold up the car after the 5 lug conversion..
Now that I am 5 lug front and rear I took a better look at the tires, as the wheels have grown on me...
After I get the ride height sorted out I will figure out what size tire I want to use and get some new tires installed..
I was more curious if I had the tire age correct.... Thank you everyone...
If anyone is curious the tires are 225 55 16......

I beleive those are 16x7's like the pony wheels. They might be 16x7.5. The size will be stamped on the back of one of the spokes.

But like the pony wheels, you should be able to get a 245/50/16 on there if you want a little more rubber
