Although age can be an issue, a bigger issue is how and where the wheels were stored. Obviously a 1 year old tire stored in the deserts of AZ will be worse for wear than one stored in a climate controlled area. I have purchased tires at closeouts and kept them for years without any issues because I stored them correctly. (My climate controlled basement.)

British tires?

Probably good to 5 years, just need to use them up in the next two years.
