I don't know, but suspect it will test harder if it's older. All very good questions. I have purchased motorcycle tires before that have been super bargains, only to discover they were three or so years old. When it comes to sport bike tires, or the new super gummy dirt tires, most hardcore moto tire nerds won't touch old tires with a ten foot pole. Whether that is superstition or real world experience causing that, I can't say.
