Tires after 6 years are not safe to run on anymore.

You'll be done w/ these tires within a year unless you drive like a grandma or don't drive the car at all.

Old tires in unused condition have not lost their plasticizers and should be good to go.

How wide are your tires? I remember asking you this before but I don't remember...

Just so everyone knows, a stock 98-01 2.5RS utilizes a 205/55/16 tire, and the widest you can go aftermarket on a stock RS (read: no fender rolling) is a 215/45/17... Any wider than that and you're most likely going to rub, ESPECIALLY if you're lowered. If your car is stock ride height, you MIGHT be able to pull off a 225/40/17, but I've had a stock car rub under HARD cornering.
