So how long would you hold onto a set of unmounted tires for?
I had ordered new Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3 tires online a while ago.
The front took forever to come in, and so I never had the back mounted as I was waiting to get them both done at the same time.
Yesterday coming home from VT the rear gave up the ghost, I had to get a hotel room and get a new rear tire this morning to get home.
So now I have an old Diablo Corsa on the front which has a little bit (not much) of life left, a Dunlop Qualifier on the back with ~100 miles on it, and a pair of new Corsa 3s sitting in my garage.
I'm tempted to go get the matching Dunlop front and either a) wait to use the Corsas or b) Sell the Corsas since they are totally unused. I could take the rear Dunlop off and sell that, but now it has some use so I figure I wouldn't get much $$ for it.
So how long is it safe for me to keep the Corsas for? If not someone here is going to get a great deal on them, because I got a great deal on them. I figure around 6000 miles before I'd get to put them on, and I'm not going to get much riding in this winter obviously.
