LOL! You were right the first time!
LOL right?!
im willing to bet the tire is rotted to the bead of the rim. If not, i would be VERY surprised. But expect them to be a pain to removed and have to clean the bead....so plan ahead...

when is a tire too old?
My family has a 2000 4 banger tj for winter use that has 33" TSL's. I recently put the stock 10 year old tires that were taken off immediately after buying it in 2004 with 8k miles.
This is just because im having a couple issues with my cherokee at the moment. just wondering if I should be concerned about the tires age, they look great, and were stored in a finished basement.

tire manufacturers only back up the tires for 6 years...at which point they say the tires are likely bad. most tire shops will have a hard time justifying mounting up ten year old tires....especially to high pressures....they are just to inconsistent with safety

One article on the subject says 6/10--put in service by their 6th year after manufacture, replaced by their 10th.

Another, same times:

And another:
http://www.garyeto.com/tire/aging.html
So, there doesn't seem to be a lot of "official" word on this, or much in the way of scientific studies.
Maybe those 1985 recaps on my 1/4 ton trailer are due for replacement?
