Both properly stored.

The V700s are about 2/3 the price of the Nittos and 1/2 retail.

What would FRRAX do?

Are these new or used?

After using my 555R2 set for a season and storing them over the winter, they were still fairly decent. I used them the next "Spring" for an Evolution school - with snow flurries all day. It only took one run to get them warm enough to start gripping in each session.

Kevin later used those tires well into zombiehood, but I think (hope) he got some useful life out of them before they crossed over.

My experience with old Victoracers was less positive. Teflon would have been a step up.
