Michael the Cyboman called Michelin the other day and I believe they told him their Pilot Sport tires were good on the shelf for 6 years. Michael, I'm I quoting that correctly?
I can tell you this much, I have a trailer I haul dirt bikes with, I HAVE to replace the trailer tires about every 8 years, not because they are worn out, but because the tread starts separating from the carcass.
My advice, if you are going to buy a set of tires for spares, make them as new as you can find, and don't stock any more than what you will need in a 6 year period. Murphy's law says that NOS tire will blow out at the worst possible time, and that's not a pleasant thought.
