Shelf life for a set of tires - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I'm thinking about just ordering up about 20 tires for this summer. I plan on running on Maxxis victra's and drifts this year since I can get them at a fair price. Is it a bad idea for tires to be sitting around for about 5 months? I always slack off and wait till the last minute, then stress myself out wondering if my tires will get here on time. It would be much better to just order ALL of them at once and be able to budget $ for events and such the rest of the year.

Here in MN our drifting season is only from about end of May to October. So the last set I would be using would be sitting around for around 5 months. Is that a bad thing?
