for a year since then they have been in my shed for a year, will they still work ok? as they have a fair amount of life left in them
Dunno if it's different for car tyres, but bike tyres are only recommended for up to two years after manufacture. I doubt that stops a lot of
people. The manufacture date is printed as a 4 digit code, first two digits are the week number, the last two are the last two digits of the year.
As I said, dunno if it's different for car tyres.
Usually old tyres tend to show cracks in sidewalls or in between treads. I have signs of this on mine. If so usually best to replace with new.

Just buy some new ones. I'll pop round to pick up the ones that are no good......
