How old can tyres be before it is wise to change them?
By around 7 to 8 years old the ageing effect on the rubber will
have reduced the flexibility of the rubber with adverse effects
on handling and ride. Most classic car enthusiasts do modest annual
mileages so this will inevitably mean the tyres age well before
they wear out.

tyre test information
Choosing replacement tyres has been made easier by the compulsory
performance labelling but if you want comparative performance information
on the top tyres then you need to see the results of two tyre tests.
Those independent comparative tyre tests carried out by AutoExpress
magazine in September 2014 and earlier by the independent consumer
organisation Which? offer guidance on tyre choice for an MGV8.
