If they're more than 8 to maybe 10 years old they aren't safe at hiway speeds, putt-putting around town would be ok. Think twice about old used tires since your daughter will be driving the car.

My '55 came to me with a new looking set of Michelin's radials on it, virtually no tread wear.
But they were 23+ years old with dried up rubber and went in the dumpster.

Believe it! These tires on the car were perfect looking. They were just a few months short of 11 years on the car. 75 MPH and tread separation is a bunch of fun!
