Age of Michelin PS2's
Anyone know if these tires have an 'expiration' date? I have a Michelin PS2 tire that is brand new, never used with a manufacture date of June 2006. As long as I'm keeping it in dry temp-controlled storage out of the sun, can I wait a couple of more years until I use it?
Also, anyone know how long Michelin will keep the PS2 in production?

Rubber will harden over time and lose it's elastic properties. I wouldn't have tires on my car older then 5 years regarless of how it has been stored. You may want to sell them or install them and use them.

If you have tires in pairs then disregard what I just said

Thanks guys, yes this is just one tire - kinda a long story as to how I ended up with it but it's brand new taken off an '07 C2S that has been off the car and in storage ever since. I thought I would use it very soon, but just bought a new set of wheels/tires altogether so don't need it right now.
I was hoping I could hold onto it and use it when I need it, but that could be a couple of years, so I see your point about mounting an 2006 tire on the same axle as say a 2012 tire. Not to mention Michelin could discontinue or change the design of the PS2...if I were buying another new tire today, it would probably be manufactured in 2009 which is not a bad difference. Of course, some of you may say that's even too much.
