its like the 15yo rally tyres i used to run.... they never wore out.....like ever, now i buy new ones they last 5 or 6 races

the old tyres go hard as, get the oldest crapest been out in the weather tyres you can

bonus is they shouldn't grip too much so you underpowered overweight vehicle might be able to spin them too!!!

Depends how much power, mine doesn't have much power so old harder tires good, but if you have a good setup you'll have alot more control with a good predictable set of tires

True story that!
My old set of 5year old slicks never even showed any signs of wear in the year I used them. Replaced them because I suspected the grid levels they gave me, now I'm going through 3 sets a year!
