Tire age
I have stock un used front PS2 tires stored from May 2007 (production weeks 16 2006) I stored it in warehouse with around 28 deg C temp.
Can I still use use it and just buy the rear tire, or should I buy new front and rear tire?

The tires will harden and change with age, but it makes little difference on a street car.

as long as they show no cracks or dry rot it should be fine

The owner's manual says 6 years is the maximum age for tires.
