5 year old new tires. Should I be worried?

Spoke to the donors today. They were full aware of the fact that they couldn't sell the tires. They didn't offer anything in return. I'm thinking about donating them back tonight.

Legally speaking they absolutely can sell the tires, it happens all the time. Morally it is probably wrong but currently there are no laws preventing them from selling tires of any age.

^^ After searching, I found no laws against this either. His exact response was, "I couldn't legally sell the tires so I donated them." I was going to buy new tires before I won these. At least I didn't lose any money.

I ran some slicks that were from 2001, sitting inside a warehouse. They definitely feel hard compare to my regular tires, I don't think it is worth it.
