I just bought an Avon venom tire its never been mounted and has been kept inside but it was manufactured in 2005.. no cracks or no dry areas.. think its okay to run this tire?
I think it will be fine since it was stored inside and out of sunlight. I have four tires on my '66 Corvette that are >20 YO and are still showing no cracks, although I'll admit I wouldn't put a 20-YO tire on my bike. That car is covered and stays inside a climate-controlled garage with no sunlight exposure, driven only about once every three months.

Ya I had a set of tires on my 69 Mach 1 that were 12 years old. Looked brand new, no cracks or anything always garage parked and a cover on it till one of the front tire treads seperated on the freeway. No more, life is too short and money does you no good when your mowing the grass from the bottom side.
