There doesn't seem to be any evidence of dry rot, which might be partly due to the fact that they've spent most of their life in a dark garage without the sun to eat them away. The reason I asked the question is that they look like brand new rubber, no problems passing registration with them, but I was concerned that they might be wreaked on the inside, and I'd blow one out in a high speed corner. I have a long mountain road between Home and college.

I will get rid of one of them which was still 20 psi over inflated for 6 years, which can't have been good for it. Must have been a dodgey service station pressure gauge. Well done to those clever french people for making a valve that held the pressure that well.
