Out of desperation one year I tried a set of 12 year old tyres, yikes... first off I couldn't get enough traction to get off the lift thingo at the tyre shop. When I finally got moving I stopped because I thought there was a jack or something stuck under the car, it sounded and felt like I was driving over loose pavers. Then I reckon I could have spun the wheels all the way home, they were a little softer when they heated up but not much. There was some verrrry sloooow times that year at the NSW Championships.
DON'T DO IT! Unless of course you want to win the local burn out comp or do a bit of drifting.
