depending on driver skill level, older tires are not a bad training tool. I ran some old NT01s for a while (i'm talking 6+ years old) and they were clearly not as sticky as new sets. So for an entry level participant, it adds to car control skills at a slower speed.
And even though they are older, that doesn't necessarily mean they are unsafe or that they will have a drastically lower performance envelope, assuming they weren't stored in the arizona sun for 5 years.
