Why, you may ask? Time still degrades rubber...not only atmospheric conditions. This is especially true in high speed, softer compound tires: W, Y or Z.

Def not asking...
Having changed thousands and thousands of tires over a 22 year career, including my time servicing and driving HSR race cars at Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, I have no reason to doubt Tire Rack is not passing off sub-standard aged-out tires. In case you’re unaware... the LFA is no slouch and Bridgestone has never viewed it as a daily driver. I would trust step-child / wife / whoever on the tires we installed. Difference of opinion, I get it...
