Default "as new" DUNLOP D40

Would this be worth anything, as I chucked the last set out, this one only has 5 miles on it, would I be liable if I sold it and it went bang considering it is like 21 odd years old ?
Thanks

You could advertise it as 'show use only, not to be used on a moving vehicle' within the description, then explain that as it is so old, you cannot guarantee it's safety.

sold loads of these, it is up to the buyer to check condition before they fit it. Just sell it would'nt worry about it.

For people who have a near original car. Std tyres which were first released.

Albeit show use, but for Buftys it means Medals.

Mine is from a 88 sapph, I got a puncture, so put it on to do the 5 miles to the tyre place, to get me puncture fixed, and ordered a new tyre for the spare whilst there, didn't fancy 100+,(on a private road obviously) on 20+ old rubber, I was shitting myself enough in those 5 miles.
Paul you have pm.
