I'd be of the school of thought is that 15 years is definitely pushing it..

That said, if I had them, and I needed snow tires, I'd use them.. Especially if you've had them stored indoors. But I would absolutely avoid any high speed driving. Around town type stuff, I think you'd be fine. And if you have a blow out at low speed, not generally a biggie..

It's at high speeds that tread separation is more likely to happen, and that's where I'd be afraid of old tires.. since compromises in that regard are invisible.
