I don't know if there is a true answer to this question. Any tire experts out there?
Taking away the damage factor, I feel a lot depends on how much weather the tire was exposed too. For instance, we've all seen tires that have cracked side walls on an old car or trailer. I would not trust such a tire on the road.
Other than that, I don't know.
