I am at the tire place right now. They selling me these tires for $150. Take them or leave them. I checked the year and they are 2005.

as long as they look good...no cracks and the rubber is still very pliable.

5 years is not bad. I would pass if they were 8+.

My question is, are you sure you want runflats? The ride and handling is not going to be as good as a standard re050 tire.

if your putting them on the back its probably fine, but you run the risk of the tires being out of round. you will get that womp womp womp sound whenever your at low speed. happened when i picked up some used fk452s with 90% tread on them.

Depends on your driving style, if you don't really push your car at all, then you won't notice.

Actually, it is the correct jacking point for most rwd cars. And it is correct for the G. Just make sure they have jackstands on each side where the normal oem jack would go to stabilize the vehicle.
