I have 30 year old Goodyear Eagle ST's, 275-60-15 on the back of my 69 Coronet R/T, Still look like new. I carry 2 spares with me and I don't go 140 anymore.
Going to purchase a set of 15" tires for my 67

You need not worry, those are old enough they are made of rubber and not epdm or neopreneI have 30 year old Goodyear Eagle ST's, 275-60-15 on the back of my 69 Coronet R/T, Still look like new. I carry 2 spares with me and I don't go 140 anymore.
Dry rot and the magic 5 year expiration date are a more modern "improvement" to tires.
Keep them out of the sun and they will be fine. The original spare from my 78 Monaco has no rot, spent it's life in the trunk.

Be careful with the Eagles GT also. I have 20 year old tires that never saw sunlight and in environment controlled. No cracks perfect looking. My buddy driving it says its vibrating, ok no biggy with classics. I look at it, a 2” wide strip about 10” long fell out of the center rib. Never lost a pound of air. Completely changed my tight wad outlook on old tires now.
