Don't know about this guy. But the only way you'll really know, if they don't appear visually shot, is to try them on road/track. The heat cycling obviously degrades the compound but if you don't know or can't tell the number of heat cycles its gone through then you'll only really know when they warm up a bit.

I think the more important thing to check is the condition of the tyres themselves, as some just will turn blue if you abuse them a bit. The Michelins don't really tend to (on an SV) but Corsa do from what I've seen.
