I would not want 10 year old used tires but never mounted should be fine.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

FYI for 4 season drivers.
After much research I found the only manufacturer that makes the correct size for 17 inch winter wheels is Vredestein. Others make fronts or rears but no one else makes matching sets.
If you are planning on this for the winter, order you tires now, they are on back order and will take 6 weeks to get in.
I found you can still get discontinued Pirelli winters in 17" size on eBay but I assume that won't last too much longer. I am sure they are a little dated but some are available that have never been mounted.
Thank you for the heads up. I have noticed the general unavailability of winter rubber for our cars. I was looking for 18" winter rubber (for my stock size wheels) but I was only able to find Conti DWS' which I am not fond of. Dumb question.....I realize 17" wheels were an option in 2004. Will 17" wheels clear the calipers or will spacers be required?
Narrow body 2004's will fit 17 inch rims. The wide body 4S needs different wheels.
The DWS are all season. If you need 18's for the narrow body tire rack has a set. I think they are the Pirellis and they were about $850.
For the wide body Carrera's I have no idea about winter set up's. I checked tire rack and they don't have a set.
Unless they were wrapped and in a climate control warehouse, they might be OK but they will be dried out a bit. If it was stored in a diferrently, they will be dried out a lot. You don't want hard witer tires. It should be illegal to sell tures that old.
Confirming that 17 will fit on 2004 40 AEs.. I have a set with studded hankooks I use.
below is a 17x8.5 and 17x9 set of twists (three passengers as well) on ice.
