8 year old new tires.

I've had 6 BF Goodrich radials blow out sitting still. All were in the 6-10 year old range. I won't buy another.
 
How far did you drive the car? Had a pickup years back with Good Years on it and if the truck sat for a week, the tires would flat spot. If the weather was cold, it would drive like your daughter's Jeep all the way to work which was 15 miles away. On the way home it was better but still a bit Jeepy feeling lol. Next day it was fine but I got tired of dealing with them and changed them out. If you didn't drive your car very far, try it. Keep your speed down though and keep your feel attuned to them for a change for the worst. Usually when a tire is about to give up the ghost, it'll let you know. You could jack up the car and check for tread separation while turning it. It'll show the flat spot too or it should show it....
Not far at all, I've been using the car locally to run errands and stuff. The furthest I went was probably 5 miles to a body shop.
