There are no signs of dry rot or cracking and I want to mount it on my date coded rim. This tire is for my spare. SHOW ONLY and will never be on the car. My question is, when I go to get it mounted should I tell them to just fill enough air to seal the bead? Bottom line I don't want a 50 year old tire blowing up on anyone. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you. 1971 Sassy Grass Green Duster 340 2006 Charger Daytona GoMango

Yeah and live most of their lives in a sealed, out of UV sunlight in the trunk of a car Who could ask for better long storage?
